    About the program

     

    The focus of this Ph.D. program on an interdisciplinary, creative, and innovative view of humanities as a set of closely related disciplines stands as its most distinctive feature since its inception.

    Based on its aspiration, scope, and integration of the different research groups of the program, our institution offers a working space where old distinctions between humanistic and scientific cultures are surpassed, and comprehensive lines of research are established on common grounds: language and new media, visual studies, ideas in the realm of Social Sciences, etc., all within the framework defined by new technologies and knowledge society.

    Our main objective is the training of leading researchers in practical abilities that enables them to pose innovative solutions within the different humanistic areas of academic, scientific, teaching, and professional fields.

    The program is designed for students with previous training in any of the traditional humanistic areas (or akin to these) who are interested in the development of their research work beyond the borders of their discipline applying an accurate methodology from a broad perspective.

  • FACULTY
  • TRAINING

    Specific training

     

    • Themed seminars. Mandatory training. 30 hours during the doctoral training period.

    Seminars taught by prestigious scholars collaborating with the Ph.D. program and by first-class international researchers. Given the renowned status of these researchers, the seminars can be occasionally hosted outside the University at other prestigious institutions of higher education.

    The program and contents of the seminars are published every year so that students can plan their schedule ahead. Participation may occasionally be concentrated in intensive two or three-day activities. Seminars are taught in English or Spanish, depending on the speaker.  

    Students must participate in these seminars throughout the first two years of their Ph.D. Part-time students will have two additional years to participate.

    The evaluation will consider the attendance and participation aspects, particularly the critical capacity and maturity of the students. Ph.D. advisors are responsible for the evaluation. To that effect, the coordinators of each activity will issue a certificate to be uploaded to the student’s Activities Document.

     

    • Doctoral thesis seminar. Mandatory training. 5 hours during the doctoral training period.

    Seminar hosted by the program on a six-monthly basis gathering Ph.D. students and advisors alike, in which the former present a preview of their research status for discussion. Advanced students may use chapters or articles submitted to journals or conferences in their presentations. This seminar, based on its nature and characteristics, varies every year. It is taught in Spanish or English.

    Students must attend one edition of these seminars throughout their doctoral training period, and give a presentation of their research during one of the last two courses. This requirement also applies to part-time students, who have two additional years to participate.

    The evaluation will consider attendance, quality of the presentations and active participation from the students in the form of questions and discussions. The coordinators of each activity are responsable for the evaluation. To that effect, they will issue a certificate to be uploaded to the student’s Activities Document.

     

    • Mobility program. Optional training*. 300 hours during the doctoral training period.

    Students can carry out at least three months of research visits at research centers in Spain or abroad of equal or higher quality than that of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. The visits and activities proposal will be subjected to review and approval by the Academic Committee of the program. Students will preferably carry out their visit in research centers with an active scientific collaboration with the program, either formal (agreement) or informal (guest collaborations).

    The duration of these activities may vary, but it will not be less than one month in any case. They will not be carried prior to the second year of the Ph.D. Part-time students will have additional years to participate.

    Students must do a report of their visit upon completion, to be approved by the supervisor from the host center. This report, along with the report from the tutor or advisor, will become a part of the annual Ph.D. activity for the Academic Committee’s evaluation. To that effect, a certificate will be issued to be uploaded to the student’s Activities Document.

     

    *The international mobility program is mandatory for “Doctorado Internacional” eligibility purposes, as provided in general regulations (RD 99/2011) and specific regulations of the Doctoral School, art. 33.

      I submitted my application. When will I know if I am admitted?

      The review process of your application consists of two stages:

      • Administrative validation. Your application will be reviewed at the Doctoral School Office on campus to ensure that it meets the admission requirements. You will be contacted if necessary.
      • Academic evaluation. If your application has succesfully passed the previous stage, it will be forwarded to the Academic Committee of the Ph.D. program for review. You will be notified of the Committee's decision by certified mail sent to the postal address provided in your application.

      This process may take up to one-two months. You will be notified of the Committee’s resolution by e-mail.

      I have been admitted. When must I submit my enrollment form?

      In you are admitted to a Ph.D. program, you have to submit your online application for enrollment in the periods set by the university to that effect, according to the instructions indicated in your letter of admission, our website or the Enrollment section of this FAQ, including the payment of tuition fees. If you do not submit your enrollment for the academic year for which you were admitted, your admission will be cancelled.

      What is complementary training and when should it be taken?

      Complementary training is required by the Academic Committee in the admission letter, depending on the applicant's access profile.
      They consist of subjects from a uc3m research master's degree, which are considered necessary to successfully complete the doctoral research.
      These training complements must be taken and passed mandatorily during the first year of doctoral training.
      In other words, if you start your studies in November of an academic year, the training complements must be taken in the first semester (the subjects begin in September), or in the second semester of the same academic year (the subjects begin in February).
      If, on the other hand, you start your studies in March, then the complements must be taken in the same academic semester (the subjects start in February) or in the first semester of the following academic year (the subjects start in September).

      These circumstances should be taken into account when planning the start of your studies at uc3m, and for the processing of visas and organisation of your stay in the country.

      Thesis defense

      Biblioteca Carmen Martin Gaite

      What is a Ph.D. thesis?

      The Ph.D. thesis is the intended outcome of the doctoral training period. Your thesis must give account of your scientific work and meet the quality standards established by the Academic Committee of the program.

      What is the Ph.D thesis defense?

      It involves presenting the doctoral research work (objectives, achievements, method, results...)

      in a public academic event before an expert Court that will evaluate the work and the exhibition.

      Prior to the development of the academic act, it is necessary to comply with a series of steps:

      Approval of the thesis by the thesis directors, Review of the thesis by external experts, Approval of the thesis by the CAPD, Pass the plagiarism analysis, Deposit the thesis with the academic community, Obtain the approval of the thesis defense and the evaluation panel.

      When can I start the thesis defense process?

      As a general rule, you must have been enrolled on your Ph.D. program for at least 24 months before initiating the thesis defense proceedings.

      You must bear in mind that the deposit of the thesis must begin before your maximum period of permanence in the Doctoral Program expires (please check your deadline and start the process at least two and a half months in advance).

      What is the deadline for depositing the thesis?

      It depends on the date you started your studies and your dedication to the doctoral project: there is a maximum period of 5 years - including an extension of one final year - if your dedication is "full time"; There is a maximum period of 8 years - including an extension of one final year - if your dedication is “part-time” (in mixed cases, the maximum period will depend on the dates). Please check your deadline well in advance - in your electronic file - to properly schedule the final stages.

      I have approval to proceed to the thesis defense. What are the stages of this process?

      Once you comply with the requirements to initiate the process, a minimum of 15 weeks (University holidays period not included) is normally necessary to carry out the entire process:

      1. Defense request to the Academic Committee of the PhD Program, along with the thesis document and a proposal of two external experts to issue their reports. (starting point)

      2. Reports received by the external experts (4-8 weeks approx.)

      3. Plagiarism control procedure (2 weeks approx.)

      4. Thesis deposit. (2 weeks)

      5. Approval of thesis defense and appointment of Thesis Committee by the Dean of Doctoral School. (1 week approx)

      6. Organization of the defense session (2 weeks approx).

      7. Thesis defense session

      How do I start the process to defend the thesis?

      You must have the final document “doctoral thesis” with the approval of your thesis director/s and make a request to the Doctoral Program (by electronic means, through SIGMA, or through the Doctoral School Management Office).

      You must have the final thesis document, check that all the information related to your doctoral file is correct (tutor, director, title of the thesis, etc.), review and finalize the Doctoral Activity Report that resides on the SIGMA electronic platform, prepare your CV and the required technical and non-technical summaries and, with the help of your director(s), prepare a proposal for external reviewers that is accepted by the Academic Committee of the PhD Program.

      What does “prior review by external experts” consist of?

      The doctoral thesis must be informed by external reviewers-evaluators, at the beginning of the process. Therefore, you must prepare, with the help of your thesis director(s), a proposal for reviewers, which the Academic Committee will approve or modify, and finally request the reports, so that they are prepared within the maximum period of a month.

      Further information: Review by external experts

      Should I prepare a new doctoral thesis document, once I have received the recommendations from external experts?

      Once the reports are requested and received, the Academic Committee of the PhD Program may suggest changes or additions to the thesis, based on said opinions. You will have one month to prepare the final thesis document and respond to the Academic Committee with an improvement report.

      What is the plagiarism analysis procedure?

      To ensure compliance with the principles established in the Code of Good Practice for Managing Plagiarism of Ph.D. Theses of the Doctoral School, all theses must be subjected to a plagiarism control procedure prior to the authorization of the defense.

      Once the Academic Committee of your Ph.D. program determines that your research period is finished and your thesis is ready for deposit, a pdf file of the thesis will be submitted to the Doctoral School.

      The plagiarism analysis will produce a Coincidence Report and a Reasoned Report of said coincidences, which the Academic Committee will review and approve first, sending the result to the Director of the Doctoral School, so that the plagiarism analysis may be considered satisfactory.

      The final document of the thesis that will go through the defense process (deposit, sending to the Evaluation Court and custody in the institutional archive of uc3m) will be the document that has satisfactorily passed the plagiarism control.

      The results of this study will be at the disposal of the members of the Thesis Committee, should they be requested.

      Further information:  Plagiarism analysis

      What is the thesis deposit?

      The deposit of your thesis enables UC3M professors and scholars of your field to review your work before the defense. The deposit period is 15 days (excluding August), after which all comments and observations by the experts will be reported to the Academic Committee and yourself. 

      Further information:  Thesis deposit

      Who approves the defense?

      Once your thesis has successfully passed both stages, the Academic Committee of the program will elaborate their proposal for thesis defense, providing details of the proposed members of the Thesis Committee on the Authorization of thesis defense and appointment of Thesis Committee. Eligibility for “Doctorado Internacional”, “Doctorado Industrial” or International Cotutelle must be indicated, where applicable.

      This proposal will be submitted for the Dean of the Doctoral School's approval of the thesis defense and the appointment of Thesis Committee members.

      Who can be a member of the Thesis Committee?

      The Thesis Committee consists of three members (President, Secretary, and a spokesperson) and a substitute. All of them must hold a Ph.D. degree and a proven track record in research. In all cases, the Committee will be formed by a majority of members external to the University and to the institutions collaborating with the School or the Ph.D. Program.
