Enrollment in a Doctorate Program
Once admitted to the doctoral program, students who wish to do so may request a mentor who will guide them through the relevant administrative and academic processes at the university and other procedures to facilitate their adaptation to the city and, in general, to the doctorate.
Deadlines
Enrollment in PhD academic supervision must be formalized annually within the deadlines provided in the academic calendar , during all years of doctoral training and until the thesis is deposited, even in situations of temporary absences (the economic conditions in these cases are detailed here ). Otherwise, it will be considered a reason for abandoning doctoral studies.
In the case of newly admitted doctoral students in the 2023-2024 academic year and subsequent years, the date of registration constitutes the start date of the doctoral studies , for the purposes of calculating the deadline for depositing the thesis.
Once registration has been completed, the Doctorate Letter must be submitted through the Solicit@ platform within a maximum period of two months, a document that establishes the rights and duties of the doctoral student, and that details the supervisory functions of the director and of the tutor, signed by the doctoral student, tutor, director, coordinator of the corresponding Doctoral Program and director of the Doctoral School.
Form of application
In the ordinary period , it will be formalized through self-registration through the virtual secretariat of the University of Zaragoza. To be able to do this, it is essential to have previously obtained the PIN and the administrative password .
During the extraordinary period, the completed and signed Enrollment in Academic Tutoring for Doctorate form must be submitted , sent to the Doctoral School through the electronic registry .
Tuition fee
The public fees corresponding to the tuition fee for academic tutoring, secretarial fees, school insurance and file opening are established annually by the Government of Aragon.
Doctoral students will be able to benefit from the discounts on their tuition payment established by the University of Zaragoza for its students.
Those who have obtained Honors in studies prior to the Doctorate must register in the indicated manner, choosing POS as payment method and send an email to docto@unizar.es informing of this circumstance and communicating the chosen payment method, in case of not maintaining POS payment. Once the checks have been carried out, the registration will be regularized and a copy of it will be sent.
The University of Zaragoza, with funding from the Government of Aragon, annually announces these grants , with the aim of promoting the public service of higher education, providing an effective framework of equality in access and academic progression of University students in their university studies through a reduction in their cost.
