New students: admission and access

Admission to the doctoral programme is the responsibility of the academic committee of each programme. You must contact the coordinator of the doctoral programme, or of the line, if it is the program of linguistic, literary and cultural studies, in which you are interested.

Once you have exchanged basic information with program or line coordination, you will have to formalize, through the computer application implemented on the Faculty website for this purpose, the application for admission.

Through the application, you will apply for admission, provide the documentation accrediting the academic requirements that the program requires and, if applicable, you will obtain the admission resolution.

Academic admission will be governed by the requirements and merits that each program has agreed to and, in any case, by the number of places offered.

Once you have obtained admission to the program, you will have to continue the procedure and formalize the application for admission. Access is approved by the dean of the Faculty, and in order to obtain it you need to record documentally that the level of previous studies you have reached is sufficient to access Spanish doctoral studies. Obtaining access will in all cases make it conditional upon obtaining admission and authorisation to complete the enrolment.

Access to doctoral studies is valid for any of the doctoral programmes offered by the Faculty of Philology. Academic admission only allows matriculation in the program that has authorized it.

Documentation and rate of equivalence study of foreign studies
