The programme's teaching staff is sufficiently experienced to supervise theses and ensure research in a wide range of subject areas.
The University of Valladolid and the University of Alicante establish the control of thesis supervision through the current regulations.
Procedure for the control of each Doctoral Student's Activity Document and certification of their data:
Once the student has been admitted to the Doctoral Programme, a Doctoral Student Activity Document (DAD) will be created, the design of which will follow the model established in the regulations for the presentation of theses reflected in the specific inter-university agreement and whose support will be electronic, in order to obtain the necessary reports and certifications.
Each and every one of the training activities carried out by the PhD student within the programme will be recorded in the DAD. The student, tutor, thesis supervisor and programme coordinator will have different levels of access to the DAD (by means of a key and password).
The tutor/director will be responsible for authorising the activity to be carried out, which will include his/her signature of authorisation. Once the doctoral student has carried out the activity, he/she will include the corresponding proof of the activity and the tutor and/or supervisor will verify the activity.
Finally, the tutor and/or thesis supervisor will include the annual reports of the doctoral student's activities and the programme coordinator will include the annual evaluations.
The agreement between the participating universities ensures that the university responsible for coordination receives information from the other universities on the monitoring of the doctoral student.
