This programme awards the official doctoral degree (Doctor or Doctora) certifying completion of doctoral-level studies. It is aimed at students who plan to prepare, deposit and defend an original doctoral thesis under supervision and meet the university requirements for awarding the title.
The core activity is the doctoral thesis (la tesi doctoral). Components and processes explicitly referenced include thesis supervision (el director o directora de la tesi), the thesis examining committee or tribunal (el tribunal de la tesi), research integrity policies (integritat a la recerca), and the deposit and evaluation of the thesis (dipòsit i avaluació). The programme framework also recognises specific mentions or modalities such as an international mention (menció internacional), industrial mention (menció de doctor o doctora industrial), cotutela (joint supervision agreements), and participation in competitions and outreach activities (Concurs Tesi en 4 minuts, European Doctoral Day, Concurs fotogràfic, Concurs CRUE #HiloTesis).
The source text does not list specific admission criteria. In practice, entry to a doctoral programme requires an authorised doctoral enrolment and arrangements for thesis supervision and evaluation; administrative steps linked to requesting the degree and required documentation are referenced but not detailed in this text.
The document does not specify careers. Holding the doctoral title formally recognises completion of doctoral-level research and so supports paths in academic research, higher education teaching, R&D roles in industry (including routes associated with the industrial mention), and other positions where a doctoral qualification is required or valued.
The text does not provide funding details. Prospective candidates should investigate doctoral grants, fellowship programmes, industrial contracts linked to the industrial mention, and university or national funding schemes; administrative pages referenced indicate there are formal steps and fees related to requesting and issuing the title (including the certificate of title in process, CTT).
