No, the doctorate school does not have job boards available to pursue an industrial doctorate.

The University of Valencia has a wide range of degree and postgraduate (master's) programs. Furthermore, the Doctoral School is in direct contact with services such as ADEIT or master's degree coordinators. Therefore, we can forward your specific requirements to these units to find the candidate your entity needs.

Yes, both are compatible.

The duration of doctoral studies is four years full-time, seven years part-time. Candidates pursuing an industrial doctorate can choose their preferred modality, although selecting part-time is recommended given the nature of this doctorate. For more information, you can consult the section "What is the duration of doctoral studies?" at the following link.

First, it is necessary to contact the industrial doctorate coordination team at the Doctoral School to agree upon and finalize the terms of the agreement. The agreement template is available in the "Administrative Documents" section. Once the required information has been completed, the agreement will be sent to the Academic Coordination of the corresponding Doctoral Program, which will evaluate the project's knowledge transfer and its compliance with industrial doctorate requirements. If the evaluation is favorable, the agreement will be submitted for approval to the Executive Board of the Doctoral School. Once approved, it will be signed by all parties involved.

Each agreement is signed individually for each doctoral student, given that the research conducted is original and has specific characteristics in each case.

The regulation on the deposit, evaluation, and defense of doctoral theses at the University of Valencia establishes the procedure for the authorization, defense, and publication of a doctoral thesis subject to processes of protection and/or transfer of technology and/or knowledge.

Students must submit an application addressed to the Doctoral School through the Electronic Register of the University of Valencia, requesting that the authorization, defense, and publication of their doctoral thesis be carried out under the special terms provided for theses subject to protection or knowledge transfer processes. The application must be signed by the PhD candidate, the thesis supervisors, the tutor, and the doctoral program coordinator.

In the "guides and forms" tab on the Doctoral School website, under "forms for administrative procedures", you can find an application template (encrypted thesis application).

Furthermore, this application must be accompanied by the following documentation:

• A copy of the encrypted thesis, signed by the doctoral candidate and the thesis supervisors. The encryption must be strictly limited to the elements essential to ensuring the protection and/or transfer of research results, so that the remaining content allows for a proper understanding of the work carried out.

• Supporting documentation proving that the thesis is subject to a protection or technology/knowledge transfer process (OTRI) or, where applicable, a patent application / patentability report / confidentiality agreement / documentation from the collaborating company or entity / other supporting documentation.

• Any other documentation deemed necessary to justify the need for protection.

No. Signing the agreement is one of the requirements, but not the only one. To learn about the other requirements, please consult the general information tab, requirements for the industrial mention.

Yes, as long as you meet the requirements for the industrial mention. Industrial doctorate grants are named as such because they facilitate fulfilling the requirements to obtain the mention. However, these requirements can also be met using other funding sources. To learn about the requirements for obtaining the industrial mention, please consult the general information section, requirements for the industrial mention.
