General description and competencies
The Doctoral Program in Physical Sciences and Technologies (CyTF) is a program regulated by Royal Decree RD99/2011, with a multidisciplinary approach to postgraduate studies, adapted to the current state of scientific and technological developments. In fact, science and technological advancements have gone hand in hand since ancient times. This has allowed us to first understand the basic principles of natural phenomena, and subsequently to control and modify our environment according to our interests.
The CyTF Program includes faculty members working in different areas of knowledge at the University of Seville (Electronics, Electromagnetism, Nuclear Physics, Theoretical Physics, and Applied Physics), along with researchers from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) affiliated with the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville, which is linked to the National Center for Microelectronics.
The integrative nature of the Program is also reflected in the wide range of research topics that the faculty and researchers involved are working on, as well as the different research groups that are part of the Program.
The CyTF Program aims to train students as researchers and professionals in various branches of Physics and Technology, following the general principles of gender equality, respect for human rights, accessibility, equal opportunities, and non-discrimination. The ultimate goal for the students in the Doctoral Program is to complete their Doctoral Theses. The role of thesis supervisors is to foster students' research skills by providing guidance, encouraging scientific cooperation with members of other research groups working on similar topics, organizing stays at other centers to carry out research work relevant to the Doctoral Thesis, facilitating attendance at specialized conferences and scientific-technical meetings, and supervising the writing of articles to be published in prestigious international journals. The final aim of the Doctoral Program is to provide students with a broad, current view of modern science and technology. This is intended to ensure their smooth integration into the labor market, with the assurance that these professionals possess a high level of competence in scientific-technical matters and research, and are expected to assume these roles in both the public and private sectors.
