The training period of the Doctoral Programme is structured around two Master’s Degrees: The Master’s Degree in Economics  (research and academic nature) by the University of Valencia and of 60 ECTS and the Master’s Degree in Banking and Quantitative Finance (research nature) by the Universities of Castilla-La Mancha, Basque Country and the University of Valencia of 120 ECTS.

The Doctoral Programme doesn’t require any educational additional requirement in the research period.

For the previous sections b) c) and d) of academic requirements it has already been mentioned that the Doctoral Studies Academic Coordinating  Committee depending on the students’ curriculum and of the adaptation of the doctoral thesis project to the research lines of the programme will decide on their admission, establishing that the students’ admission may depend on the completion of certain modules of the master’s degrees.

Particularly, as complementary training for doctoral students coming from Master’s degrees of technical nature (engineering or similar) at least, two subjects of the conceptual -analytical module of the Master’s Degree in Industrial Economy I should be completed. This module consist of 15 ECTS and the following 5 subjects of 3 credits each: Microeconomics, Industrial Economy, Macroeconomics of a Globalised Economy, Economy of Information and Strategic Management of Organisations. Additionally, and according to the research topic it could be required
to take some or various of the subjects of 5 credits of  Macroeconomics and Microeconmics  of the Master’s Degree in Economicss. With these complementary training it is aimed that doctoral students acquire knowledge about how the economic agents behave (competency CE1) and that they understand the functioning of markets, mainly when they behave imperfectly (competency CE2). The assessment of this complementary training will be conducted by the corresponding theses directors.

For the doctoral students who had completed other type of Master’s Degrees, more conceptually related, but more deficient technically they need to take at least two quantitative subjects  of the Master’s Degree in Economics, such that   Quantitative Methods and Econometrics. As previously according to the research topic students could be required to take some or various of the subjects of five credits   of  specific topics of the Master’s Degree in Economics. With this complement it is aimed that doctoral students strengthen the instrumental learning needed for analysing the behaviour of economic agents and markets, both qualitatively and quantitatively (competence CE3). The assessment
of this training will be conducted by the corresponding thesis directors.
