Enrolment in doctoral academic supervision

Continuation registration instructionsNew enrolments instructions

IBERUS CONNECT Programme for International Students
Once admitted to the PhD programme, 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 PhD. They will also be able to participate in the activities organised by the Iberus Connect ambassadors (contact: iberusconnect@campusiberus.es, embajadoct.uz@gmail.com).

Deadlines

Enrolment in doctoral academic supervision must be formalised annually within the deadlines established in the academic calendar, during all the years of doctoral training and until the thesis is deposited, even in situations of temporary leave of absence (the financial conditions in these cases are detailed here). Failure to do so will be considered a reason for dropping out of the doctoral programme.

The deposit of the doctoral thesis must be made within the academic year in which the student is enrolled in the doctoral programme. Those who postpone it until a date later than the last day of the academic year must register for the new academic year.

In the case of new doctoral students in the academic year 2023-2024 and subsequent years, the date of enrolment constitutes the starting date of the doctoral studies, for the purposes of calculating the deadline for the deposit of the thesis .

In application of the first transitory provision of Royal Decree 576/2023, which amends Royal Decree 99/2011, for doctoral students enrolled before the academic year 2023-2024, the date of admission is maintained as the starting date for doctoral studies.

Once enrolment has been completed, the Doctoral Charter, a document that establishes the rights and duties of the doctoral student, and which details the supervisory functions of the supervisor and tutor, must be submitted via the Solicit@ platform within a maximum period of two months, signed by the doctoral student, tutor, supervisor, coordinator of the corresponding doctoral programme and director of the Doctoral School.

Form of presentation

In ordinary term, it will be formalised by means of self-enrolment through the virtual secretary's office of the University of Zaragoza. In order to do so, it is essential to have previously obtained the NIP and the administrative password.

During the extraordinary period, the completed and signed form Enrolment in academic supervision for doctoral studies must be submitted to the School for Doctoral Studies via the electronic registry.

Tuition fees

The public prices corresponding to the amount of tuition fees for academic supervision, secretarial fees, school insurance and the opening of a student' s file are established annually by the Government of Aragon.

Doctoral students will be able to benefit from the discounts on tuition fees established by the University of Zaragoza for its students.

Those who have obtained an Honours Degree in studies prior to the PhD  (only for studies of the University of Zaragoza) must register as indicated, choosing TPV as the payment method and send an email to docto@unizar.es informing of this circumstance and communicating the chosen payment method, in the event of not maintaining payment by TPV. Once the checks have been carried out, the registration will be regularised and a copy of the registration will be sent.

Study grants for doctoral academic supervision
