Finding out more

For those who wish to further their education and enter the world of research, the University of Cantabria has adapted its PhD studies to the European Space of Higher Education, carrying out a varied offer of Doctorate Programmes, elaborated in agreement with the regulations in the Royal Decree 139372007, which establishes the planning for official university teaching.

The Doctorate Programmes are made up of a period of education and a period of organised research.  Passing both of these periods will lead to receiving the PhD Degree.

The period of education will normally consist of passing the official studies in the corresponding Master’s Degree, whereas in the research period the student will proceed to write and defend his PhD Thesis.
