Prior information system

General considerations on the prior information system for doctoral studies at the Universidad de Sevilla

The Universidad de Sevilla considers it essential for the development of doctoral studies that complete information is available for those who wish to access these studies. Success in attracting students with aptitude and interest and fulfilling the vocation of public service in the third cycle of university studies depends on transparent and effective information on the offer and organisation of these studies. This information should enable potential doctoral students:

  • To obtain information on the structure of doctoral studies, with a perspective not only focused on the Universidad de Sevilla, but also in national and international contexts..
  • To identify the programmes and lines of research that are of interest to them
  • To be informed about the administrative procedures for admission applications, enrolment, conditions for continuing in a programme, and preparation and defence of doctoral dissertations..
  • To provide the contact person who can resolve queries about administrative procedures
  • To provide the teaching and research contact to guide in the selection of programmes and lines..

All information about the doctorate that appears on the University's institutional website will be available in Spanish and English.
