 What are transversal training activities?

Although the essential activity of the doctorate is research, doctoral programs include other training activities that include both cross-cutting training and training specific to the field of each program.


To find out the obligatory and optional activities recognized by each doctoral program, their duration or equivalent load in hours and the minimum number of hours that must be completed, the doctoral student should consult the program web page (section “Structure”, subsections “Cross-cutting activities” and “Specific activities”) and the indications of his/her Academic Committee and tutor.
In the case of transversal training activities, each academic year the Doctoral School approves the general offer and publishes it on its website.


The approved transversal activities are offered in one or more editions, depending on the expected number of students, with different dates and languages. All editions are taken in distance mode (online), have a duration equivalent to 15 hours and are taught through the UV Virtual Classroom (https://moodle.uv.es) lasting approximately three weeks.

Registration                                                

Enrollment in the transversal training activities is free of charge and is done during the period established for this purpose by the Doctoral School and announced each academic year on its website (usually in December-January).
Prior to enrollment, it is important to consult the approved offer for the academic year and to plan the activities and specific editions of the same that you wish to take, taking into account the following aspects:

 

  • Each student may enroll in only one edition of each course (for example, course code 50000 “Writing scientific articles” has 13 editions; students may enroll in only one of these). If the student does not pass the activity with a PASS, he/she will not be able to take it again until the following academic year.. 
  • The description of each of the editions specifies the dates, the working language and, if applicable, the student profile targeted by academic areas.

possible doubts

Waiting list:

In the event that there are no places available in any of the editions of a transversal activity in which the student wishes to enroll, he/she may enroll in the edition called “Waiting List”, offered in each of these activities. The waiting list will be used in the event of vacancies or low enrollment.
Once the registration period is over, the Doctoral School will evaluate the waiting list applications, giving priority to doctoral students who are in the final years of their doctorate, and will try to place them in the requested cross-cutting activities, provided that these are required by their doctoral program and necessary to complete their training.
