SPECIFIC ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
1. Candidates must meet one of the two following requirements:
A) Provide proof of research proficiency. This competence can be demonstrated as follows:
i) Submission of supporting documents indicating that research proficiency has been obtained in another equivalent doctoral programme, in accordance with Spanish legislation (RD 185/1985 and RD 778/1998).
ii) Submission of supporting documents proving completion of courses abroad that the Academic Committee considers equivalent to those listed in the previous section.
iii) Possession of a master's degree in research in the areas of law or political sciences.
iv) Possession of a master's degree in research in the area of social sciences that the programme's Academic Committee considers proof of research proficiency.
v) Possession of a bachelor’s degree certificate in law or political sciences that provides evidence of completion of final project or dissertation.
B) Completion of the required bridging courses.
2. Candidates must prove that they have obtained level B-2 in any language used in science, other than the official languages of Catalonia.
CANDIDATE EVALUATION CRITERIA
The Academic Committee will select and admit students on the basis of the following scoring system:
1. Qualification used for admission (0-3 points), assessed as follows:
a) Admission from one of the following UB master's degrees (3 points): Business Law; Legal Practice; Political Analysis and Institutional Assessment; Citizenship and Human Rights; Criminology, Criminal Justice Policy and Sociology of Crime; Sport Business Management; Strategic Security and Police Management; Advanced Legal Studies; Cultural Management; Advanced Public Management; Environmental Management and Restoration; Professional Administrative Services; Internationalization; and Conflict Mediation.
b) Master's degrees in related disciplines, depending on the specific content and its compatibility with the research areas covered by the doctoral programme (0-3 points).
2. Academic record for the bachelor's degree or pre-EHEA degree used for admission (maximum 4 points, depending on the grade point average). The grade point average will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 4 divided by 2, or 0 to 10 divided by 5. Correction factors will be applied to qualifications issued outside Spain, as provided for in the regulations of the ANECA programme.
3. Academic record for the master's degree (maximum 4 points, depending on the grade point average). The grade point average will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 4 divided by 2, or 0 to 10 divided by 5. Correction factors will be applied to qualifications issued outside Spain, as provided for in the regulations of the ANECA programme.
4. Statement of interest, research proposal or letters of recommendation (maximum 2 points).
5. Curriculum vitae (maximum 4 points), the following aspects will be evaluated:
a) Research experience in any of the areas covered by the theoretical and practical content of the doctoral programme (maximum 1 point).
b) Professional experience in any of the areas covered by the theoretical and practical content of the doctoral programme (maximum 1 point).
c) Publication record, attendance of conferences, and other activities related to the programme (maximum 1 point).
d) Master's degree grants awarded in competitive calls (maximum 1 point).
6. Previous award of a grant for doctoral study (3 points) or grant application pendingresolution at the time of application (1 point). Spanish grants equivalent to FI (research training) or FPU (university lecturer training) will be taken into consideration, as will competitive grants awarded in other countries.
7. Other academic merits: international placements, knowledge of languages such as French, Portuguese, Italian, German, etc. (maximum 2 points).
BRIDGING COURSES
The programme's academic committee and the delegated coordinator must specify the bridging courses that each doctoral student must take and pass to be admitted, when applicable.
Candidates who are required to complete bridging courses must take the subject Guidelines for Legal Research (6 ECTS) from the university master's degree in Advanced Legal Studies, if the student will take the legal pathway, or the subject Guidelines for Research from the master's degree in Political Analysis and Institutional Assessment (6 ECTS) in the case of a political sciences pathway, or another bridging course that the programme's academic committee considers to be equivalent and suitable.
Candidates who have not taken a master's degree in the area of law or social sciences must complete their training by taking a further 6 ECTS from subjects offered as part of master's degree studies in the Faculty of Law, with the approval of the corresponding coordinators of the relevant master's degree.
Students who are informed that they must take specific bridging courses to be accepted on the doctoral programme must successfully complete them within one academic year. During this academic year, the candidate will be considered a doctoral student, with temporary admission to the programme. Once the candidate has passed the bridging courses, his/her admission to the programme will be definitive. In these cases, the time taken to complete the bridging courses shall not be considered in the continuance regulations for the student.
The official records of qualifications shall state whether a student has taken bridging courses to enrol. On completion of the bridging courses, students must request an "academic certificate" showing the mark obtained, as proof of having successfully completed the required bridging courses.
Any bridging courses that are taken must be indicated in the doctoral student's activity log.
If a student does not pass the bridging courses, he/she shall not be admitted to the doctoral programme. |

| Salidas profesionales |
Firstly, doctoral students in both areas - Law and Political Science - can opt for teaching and/or research careers within universities or other research institutions.
Secondly, with different profiles of professional activity according to each of the areas, doctoral students can seek and find employment (or improve their professional situation) in public and private entities in which to develop activities related to their doctoral specialisation; in the private sphere, reference is being made to both private companies and non-governmental organisations whose purposes require legal advice and/or political analysis or consultancy. |
