The Programme offers a number of online training activities, some of which are compulsory for all doctoral students. Among the latter is the participation in the Permanent Seminar of Doctoral Students. The different activities, their calendars and their workload (depending on the dedication, complete or partial, of the doctoral students) can be consulted in this document.

ACCESS REQUIREMENTS
The minimum legal requirements for admission to any of the doctoral programs are those specified in the section "Access for new doctoral students" in this link.

ACCESS PROFILES
Given the transdisciplinary nature of philosophical studies, the Program allows the development of research associated with other areas of scientific and humanistic knowledge, as long as they clearly fit into one of the lines of research offered and the researcher responds to one of the access profiles established in the Verified Report, which are the following:

• Profile 1: graduates in Philosophy who have completed a university master's degree in Philosophy.
• Profile 2: graduates in any branch of knowledge who have completed a university master's degree in Philosophy.
• Profile 3: graduates in Philosophy or Humanities who have completed a Master's Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training (specializing in Philosophy); access through this profile may require the completion of additional training if, in the opinion of the Academic Committee, the research topic of the doctoral student so advises.
• Profile 4: graduates or master's degree holders in other branches of knowledge, provided that the chosen line of research is consistent with the academic and research training received in the undergraduate and/or master's degree, access through this profile requires in any case the completion of complementary training.

 

The minimum compulsory complementary training for those who access by profile 4 -and for those who, accessing by profile 3, are also required in the opinion of the Academic Committee- are a minimum of 3 credits and a maximum of 9. The minimum compulsory is obtained by taking the subject "Philosophical research: procedures and methodology" (3 credits) of the Master's Degree in Research in Philosophy taught jointly by the University of La Laguna, the University of Murcia and the University of Zaragoza. The remaining 6 credits, of a non-obligatory nature, can be obtained by taking any of the other subjects of the same Master (the one that in each case is more appropriate to the research topic of the doctoral student).

The subjects and teaching guides of the aforementioned Master's Degree in Research in Philosophy are available at the following link.

In the case of doctoral students from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, the Academic Committee of the Program will carry out the appropriate procedures so that they can formalize an extracurricular enrollment in the corresponding subject/s without the need to enroll in the entire Master's Degree.

Admission to the Program consists of two phases: a) pre-enrollment and b) admission.

Pre-registration is processed exclusively through the International Doctoral School (EID-UCLM) through the administrative procedure that it has regulated, without the Academic Committee of the Program intervening in this phase of the process. The pre-enrollment deadlines, as well as all the information related to the general admission and enrollment regulations, application forms, required documentation, contact channels, etc., can be consulted on its website. Once the pre-enrollment application has been submitted through this channel, and if it meets the general admission requirements, the EID-UCLM will inform the applicant and will transfer the file to the Academic Committee of the Program so that it can decide on admission.

Admission is made in view of the applicant's access profile and the research project described in the Application Form (one of the documents required in the pre-enrollment process). The Academic Committee will evaluate whether the project is viable within the framework of the Program and, if so, will confirm admission and designate the professor who will act as tutor for the doctoral student (the function of tutor is not equivalent to that of thesis supervisor, although they may coincide in the same person).

The name and signature of the thesis advisor proposed by the applicant must be included in the above-mentioned Written Submission. Without this endorsement, admission to the Program will not be possible. Therefore, prior to pre-registration, the future doctoral student must have contacted the professor of the Program that he/she considers most appropriate to endorse him/her and direct his/her research. In the list of professors, the university of assignment is indicated, so that the contact details of each professor can be found in the corresponding directories. Their more specific fields of work within the line/s of research in which they are framed can be consulted in databases such as Google Scholar, Dialnet, Academia.edu and similar, in order to more easily identify those who could be suitable for the project to be developed.
