Those who meet the general and specific admission requirements of each Doctoral Programme may submit the pre-enrolment application within the indicated deadlines.

The application will be made through the online office of the Universitat, using the link in the Online application tab available from May 17th, 2021.

Each interested person can only make a single application, being able to choose up to a maximum of three options among the different doctoral programmes.

Students who are completing their doctoral studies in the current academic year may pre-enrol, even if they have not completed those studies at the time of submitting their application. Students will be admitted and will be able to formalise their enrolment. In any case, your enrolment will be conditional upon the fulfilment of all access requirements before November 30th, 2021 at 23:59h. Failure to accredit these conditions will result in the automatic cancellation of the enrolment

The documentation must be submitted in electronic format with the pre-enrolment application form. Students are responsible for the authenticity of the documentation provided electronically.
The submission of such documentation on paper is not required unless there are doubts as to its authenticity. In this case, the student will be asked, with reasons, to submit a paper collation of the copies provided, and may also be asked to submit the original documentation.
The presentation of the documentation in electronic format with the pre-enrolment application is an essential requirement for the processing of the application.

The documentation to be enclosed with the pre-enrolment application is the following:

a) Photocopy of NIF (Spaniards), NIE (residents in Spain) or PASSPORT (foreigners). In the case that the previous official higher education studies have been carried out at the Universitat de València, it will not be necessary to provide this documentation.

b) Official University Degree. In the case of official qualifications issued by the Universitat de València, it will not be necessary to present them. In all other cases, the official university degree must be provided, which, depending on the form of access, will be:

• Undergraduate and Master's Degrees (Article 6.1 Royal Decree 99/2011)
• Llicenciatura [former Spanish undergraduate degree] (Consell Govern Agreement 24/06/2014)
• Certificate of possession of the Diploma of Advanced Studies, obtained in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 778/1998, of April 30th, or of having achieved the research proficiency regulated in Royal Decree 185/1985, of January 23rd.
• Accreditation of Positive Evaluation of two specialised health training courses
• Doctoral degree from previous regulations (accreditation Doctoral degree from previous regulations)

In the case of degrees obtained in universities of states that are not members of the European Union or signatories of the European Economic Agreement or of a bilateral agreement with the European Union, the degree must be duly legalised or apostilled and, depending on the case, must be accompanied by an official translation (see section "Admission requirements for foreign graduates").

In addition, in the case of official qualifications obtained at universities in states outside the European Higher Education Area, it will be necessary to present the credential of homologation of the degree by the Ministry of Education. In the event that the degree is not recognised, the applicant will have to pay, at the time of pre-enrolment, the corresponding fee for the equivalence study of his/her degree, which amounts to 155.22 euros. If the student has already pre-enrolled for a doctorate in previous years and has obtained the corresponding equivalence resolution, they will be exempt from paying the fee.

c) Official academic transcript (grades). Certificate corresponding to the studies carried out in master's degree, undergraduate degree or licenciatura, as appropriate. In the case of official qualifications issued by the Universitat de València, it will not be necessary to present them.

Foreign students must present the official academic certificate (grades) legalised or apostilled and, if applicable, officially translated (see section Admission requirements for foreign graduates). In addition, students must submit the document with the average mark calculated on a base of 10, in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

Further information on the procedure for calculating the average mark can be found here.

In the case of presenting the official degree of the access qualification, but not providing the official academic certificate with the average mark, and in the case of foreign degrees, in addition, its conversion to base 10 of the Aneca and its legalisation, the average mark that will count in the file for its evaluation, will be a 5 (pass) on a base of 10.

The places offered will be allocated according to the result of the ranking of the pre-enrolment application and the order of priority indicated by the student in their application.

In case you have applied for more than one doctorate, the prioritisation of the options made at the time of application is binding. Thus, if the applicant has been favourably assessed in more than one programme, admission will be in the one selected as preferential.

Each student may only be admitted to one doctoral programme, and may be placed on the waiting list for several programmes for which they have applied with higher priority.

The results of the pre-enrolment procedure will also be published on the website of the Doctoral School and on the Bulletin Board of the Universitat de València.

After the notification and publication of the pre-enrolment results on October 19th, students may lodge a complaint with the corresponding CAPD of each doctoral programme during October 20th, 21st and 22nd. No complaints will be accepted after these dates.
