Pre-registration
-
What does the admission process to a doctorate programme involve?
Each doctorate programme has an Academic Coordinating Committee that runs the programme. As part of the admission process, after the end of the set deadline for the presentation of pre-enrolment applications, these committees meet and assess the candidate’s applications. As a result, the Student Services and the Doctorate School publish on their web pages the list of the admitted, on the waiting list and excluded students.The admission results, both provisional and final, are also notified to each applicant through the electronic office. .

What’s the difference between pre-enrolment and enrolment?
Pre-enrolment is a process that takes place before enrolment during which applications for a course are assessed and the places available are allocated. Therefore, the final step in the pre-enrolment process is to notify candidates if they have been admitted, conditionally admitted, included on the waiting list or excluded.
Enrolment is the process following pre-enrolment. Students admitted in the corresponding pre-enrolment phase can enrol within the period established (refer to enrolment calendar). Also students conditionally admitted that have proved the compliance with the academic requirements within the period established.
-
When does the pre-enrolment period for a doctorate programme start?
The calendar with the period for submission of pre-enrolment applications, the admission date and the enrolment period is published every year.

How much do I have to pay for pre-registration?
Pre-registration is free of charge, except for students who have degrees from countries outside the European Higher Education Area and who do not have their degrees recognised by the Spanish state. In these cases, the pre-enrolment procedure requires a fee, corresponding to the equivalence study of the degree with which the student wishes to access the doctoral programme, which is paid through the same electronic application at the time of application, by bank card. (Consult the annual Decree of the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencian Government), which sets the fees for the provision of university academic services.)

Where can I find the complete doctoral programme offering?
Please, find the complete doctoral programme offering following this link.
-
How many doctoral programme applications can I send during the pre-enrolment procedure?
Everyone can apply up to a maximum of three doctoral programmes presented in the order of preference. Yet, no one can be admitted to more than one programme. The final admission into one or another programme will depend on the final scale of assessment of the student merits and the order of preference indicated during the pre-enrolment procedure.
-
Can I amend the pre-enrolment application that I submitted or attach new documents to it?
Students can amend their submitted pre-enrolment application or attach new documents to it once it has been submitted, from the moment of submission up to the end of the deadline set for pre-enrolment.
To amend the submitted pre-enrolment application, the doctorate student must send an e-mail to preinscripcio.doctorat@uv.es with the definitely chosen doctoral programme and line of research, and the desired order of preference, before the end of the deadline set for pre-enrolment.
To attach new documents to the application once it has been submitted, the student must access “My personal site” in the Online Office of the Universitat de València (ENTREU). There they can check the applications that they have submitted, choose the Doctoral pre-enrolment application and the column “Actions” offers the option to “Attach”.
-
How can I change my preference in terms of which doctoral programs I want to pre-enrol in?
To modify the selected doctoral programmes or their order, you must send a ticket to the Student Support of the Doctoral School, with the list of doctoral programmes and the research line definitively chosen and the desired order of priority. The request must be made before the deadline for pre-enrolment applications.
-
Are there any doctoral programmes that are offered entirely online?
The concept of online doctoral programmes does not exist at the Universitat de València. For specific attendance requirements, you should consult the Academic Committee of the doctoral program you wish to study. The contact details for each doctoral programme can be consulted in the "Summary" section of the file for each programme.
-
Are there any doctoral programs available entirely in English?
Generally, the communications between the coordination of each doctoral programme and the doctoral students is done in one of the official languages of the Universitat de València. This does not prevent, however, that on a more individual level with a foreign doctoral student, English can be used as the working language. In any case, you should consult the specific doctoral program in which you are interested, given that some programs have, among the specific admission requirements, the certification of knowledge of some language.
-
What is the difference between full-time and part-time commitment?
Although the general commitment to a doctoral program is full-time, part-time commitment can be applied for in duly justified circumstances (compatibility of the doctorate with a job, family responsibilities, etc.). The application for part-time employment is made at the time of pre-registration, with the corresponding supporting documentation.
-
How am I notified that I have been admitted to a doctoral programme?
You will receive a notification through the ENTREU online office informing you of your admission and providing you with the necessary data to carry out the enrolment.
-
What do I have to do if I am admitted to a doctoral programme that I did not select as a preferred option and I have been placed on a waiting list for another program that I had marked first?
You will have to register in the programme you have been admitted to. If you are subsequently called up for the waiting list in the other program and are admitted, the Doctoral School will contact you to let you know so that you can modify your registration.
-
How many waiting list calls are there?
A waiting list appeal is made whenever there are vacancies after enrollment, and only in the case that the Academic Committee asks for its activation.
-
Do I have to be physically present in the waiting list call?
No, you don’t. The call of candidates from the waiting list is not made face-to-face. The Student Services staff will make the admission offers following the order of the waiting list according to the number of places available after the enrolment period.
Students who are admitted to a doctoral programme are notified of the results of the waiting list.
