Profile, admission requirements and educational complements

Admission requirements

The Academic Committee of the Doctoral Program (CAPD) is the body charged with establishing access procedures and admission criteria. In any case, these criteria are aligned with current national legislation and with the regulations governing Doctoral Studies at the Universidad de Córdoba.

Via the following link you can find the modes to access doctoral studies, as well as the admission processes, documentation and deadlines.

The Academic Committee of the Social and Legal Sciences Doctoral Program may proceed with the conditional admission of a candidate, without him/her being able to enroll for the academic tutelage (tutela académica) of their doctoral studies. The reasons that may give rise to conditional admission are:

• The need for the completion of complementary training. When, in consideration of the candidate's aptitudes and qualifications, it is deemed appropriate for him or her to complete, prior to joining the Doctoral Program, the legally stipulated supplementary training.
• The presentation of documentation certifying compliance with administrative requirements. When the applicant meets the admission requirements, but has not yet formalized certain documentation or completed other administrative requirements (the legalization of foreign documents, translations, etc.)

If these requirements are not met before the end of the second doctoral studies academic tutelage enrollment period, the admission will be totally canceled.

There are a series of research-oriented Master's degrees that provide direct access to this Doctoral Program:

• Master's Degree in Archeology and Heritage: Science and the Profession (UHU).
• University Master's in Cinematography (UCO).
• University Master's in Heritage Management by Municipalities (UCO)

Students who have completed research-oriented Master's degrees other than those that provide access to this Doctoral Program will have to present the complete documentation on their training when requesting admission so that the Academic Committee and the CAPD can decide whether or not it will be necessary for the student to complete Complementary Training prior to admission to the doctoral program, or during the first year of it.

Admission profile and complementary training

The recommended profile is that of graduates in Art and the Humanities, Communication and Tourism, without excluding candidates from other related degrees if their specific profiles are approved by the CAPD. For an ideal admission profile, applicants will have completed the research-oriented Master's degrees that make up the training period providing access to the Doctoral Programs at the participating Universities, which are included on the application. These include the Master's in Art and Humanities Research (UEX), the Master's in Historical and Natural Heritage, the Ibero-American Master's in Comparative History (UHU), the Master's in Tourism, Archaeology and Nature, the Master's in Advanced Cultural Heritage Management: History, Art and Territory (UJA), the Master's in Texts, Documents and Cultural Intervention, the Master's in Cinematography, and the Master's in Heritage Management by Municipalities (UCO).

Once the application for admission to the Doctoral Program has been received, and after analysis of the mandatory regulatory requirements, the applicant's prior training, curricular background motivation, and Doctoral Thesis Proposal, the Academic Committee may issue a complementary training proposal based fundamentally on the courses offered in the context of the official Master's programs of the Universidad de Córdoba, for those candidates who need it. This proposal will be attached to the decision regarding admission to the Program that the candidates receive.

This complementary training will be considered, for the purposes of public prices and the granting of scholarships and study funding, Doctorate-level training, and their completion will not count with reference to the time limit on doctoral theses indicated in the current Regulations.

For the establishment of this complementary training, the scales of the participating Universities will be taken into account, initially following the scale approved by the Masters and Doctorates Committee of the University of Cordoba

Prior information

The interuniversity program of the universities of Córdoba, Extremadura, Jaén and Huelva focuses on the study of Cultural and Natural Heritage with the aim of bolstering it through research, increasing the assets that comprise it, and placing these at the service of society.

Its purpose is to contribute both to the advancement of knowledge, and its management, as heritage research is one of the fundamental actions involved in preserving it. It makes possible the valuation of heritage assets and determines their protection, as well as their adequate conservation, restoration and dissemination, making possible their exploitation as a social and economic resource.

Information of interest on doctoral studies is included in the Universidad de Córdoba's Guide to Good Doctoral Practices.

In addition, the UCO's general website contains information on the services for university students that can help doctoral students integrate and adjust to the university and the city.

In addition, the Universidad de Córdoba's Doctoral School, or those responsible for the Program, hold an annual welcome and orientation session for all doctoral students once the enrollment period for academic tutelage ends. At it the basic rules of the Doctorate are explained, and doctoral students are oriented regarding the procedures to follow, the people responsible for each of them, the most important deadlines, use of both the doctoral website and the intranet, etc., with the aim of facilitating their incorporation into the Doctoral Program and providing them with knowledge of the rules and procedures governing it.

Orientation and information actions are also offered to students, such as:

• UCO Post-graduate Fairs
• Workshops featuring the presentation of university Master's degrees at UCO centers
• Participation in networks to disseminate the doctoral offerings in the international arena: Fundación Carolina and the Ibero-American Postgraduate University Association (AUIP)

Monitoring and control

El seguimiento del doctorando se realiza tanto de forma continua (a través del cuaderno de actividades) como a través de actividades programadas anualmente (seguimiento anual).

Para el seguimiento continuo, la Universidad de Córdoba tiene a disposición de los doctorandos una aplicación informática (SIGMA) en la que se registrarán todas las actividades tanto obligatorias como opcionales que formen parte de la formación integral de los doctorandos. Al inscribir el plan de investigación, y a partir de ahí en el seguimiento anual, los doctorandos deberán presentar a la Comisión Académica del PD una propuesta de las actividades y objetivos del trabajo a realizar en ese año, que contará con el visto bueno de los directores de tesis, y del tutor en su caso. Si no son actividades ya establecidas como obligatorias por el Programa deberá explicitarse la carga de trabajo de las mismas y el procedimiento que se usará para su evaluación.

Cada vez que el doctorando realice una de estas actividades deberá registrarlo en la mencionada aplicación y su tutor o director validar la misma y aceptarla como actividad formativa del doctorando. Anualmente los doctorandos remitirán al Instituto de Estudios de Postgrado la documentación acreditativa de las actividades realizadas.

Con la finalidad de que el alumnado de Doctorado exponga el desarrollo de su plan de investigación, especialmente, en lo relativo a la metodología y avances y resultados más significativos alcanzados, la Comisión Académica del Programa de Doctorado nombrará anualmente una o varias Comisiones de Seguimiento integradas por tres personas doctoras, de las que una habrá de ser externa al Programa de Doctorado y las dos restantes responsables de equipos de investigación adscritos al Programa. Si se dispone de los medios económicos necesarios, se nombrará a un experto internacional como persona doctora externa al Programa de Doctorado. Asimismo, se presentará el documento de actividades realizadas y los informes que a tal efecto deberán emitir la persona que tutoriza y/o dirige la tesis.

La Comisión de Seguimiento deberá realizar un informe individual con la valoración del trabajo realizado y el grado de avance en relación a la anualidad anterior. En esta valoración se tendrá en cuenta el grado de cumplimiento y las evaluaciones obtenidas en las actividades formativas, así como los mencionados informes. La evaluación positiva será requisito indispensable para continuar en el Programa. En caso de evaluación negativa, que será debidamente motivada, el doctorando o la doctoranda se someterá a una nueva evaluación en el plazo de seis meses, a cuyo efecto elaborará un nuevo plan de investigación. En el supuesto de producirse nueva evaluación negativa, causará baja definitiva en el Programa.

La Comisión Académica del Programa de Doctorado, remitirá anualmente al Instituto de Estudios de Postgrado, en la fecha que establezca la Comisión de Másteres y Doctorado, el resultado del seguimiento. Si en el transcurso del curso académico, se produjeran modificaciones significativas al plan de trabajo presentado, estas deberán ser comunicadas por el doctorando, con el visto bueno de su director/a, a la Comisión Académica, que comunicará su resolución en el plazo máximo de 20 días.

Thesis presentation and reading

The presentation and reading of the thesis will be carried out according to what is set down in the regulations governing doctoral studies at the UCO, following the procedure that can be found via the following link.

Internacionalization

The Universidad de Córdoba offers different forms of support promoting the internationalization of the doctorate, mainly in the form of calls for international stays to obtain the "International Mention" distinction and the completion of theses under co-tutelages, with one of the student's tutors being at a foreign university. These calls may be viewed in the Doctoral Calls/Resolutions section
