Admission criteria

The doctoral program will admit a maximum of 20 students per academic year, of which a maximum of 5 will be part-time.

The student entry profile is broad, potentially encompassing any area related to life sciences and experimental sciences in its biological aspect.

In the event that there are more applicants than places and it is necessary to make a selection, this will be carried out considering the file and curriculum of the applicants, as well as the adequacy of the previous studies to the content of the doctoral program. If necessary, personal interviews may be conducted with the applicants.

The order of prioritization of the criteria used (with their contribution in% to the final score) will be as follows:

  1. The adequacy of previous studies to the content of the doctoral program (40%)
  2. Resume (30%)
  3. Academic record (20%)
  4. Personal interview (10%)
