Access and admission.
Access Requirements.
The minimum legal access requirements for admission to any type of doctoral programs are specified in the section "Access for new doctoral students" in this link.
Recommended Admission Profile for the Agricultural and Environmental Sciences Program.
The admission profile will consider the Program's focus on agrarian and environmental issues, with applied biology as a basic common element and the interaction of its different fields of knowledge with the environment. In each of the cases and lines of research of the program are integrated, complementing each other, own contents of agricultural production, forestry production, animal production and health, ecology, study of global change, aerobiology, biodiversity, biotechnology and genetics or engineering. The PhD program is broad, integrating complementary knowledge, multidisciplinary and a reference in environment and agricultural production systems, focused on the so-called "green engineering" and on the deep knowledge of biological systems and their interactions. Among the degrees, taught at the UCLM or at other universities, which, fulfilling the above requirements, fit the recommended entry profile (although not exclusive), are:
University's degrees (as well as their equivalent bachelor's or engineering degrees):
- Agricultural and Food Engineering.
- Agri-Food Engineering.
- Agricultural and Rural Engineering.
- Forestry and Environmental Engineering.
- Food Science and Technology.
- Chemistry.
- Environmental Sciences.
- Biology.
- Biotechnology.
- Biochemistry.
- Veterinary.
- Physics.
University Master's Degrees (as well as their bachelor's or engineering degrees that may be equivalent):
- Agricultural Science and Engineering.
- Plant Biotechnology.
- Molecular Biology.
- Agronomic Engineering.
- Environmental Sustainability in Local and Territorial Development.
- Basic and Applied Research in Hunting Resources.
- Forestry Engineering.
- Chemical Engineering.
- Research in Chemistry.
- Research in Physics.
In addition, a good command of the languages most used in the scientific field of the Program is recommended, specifically English, for which a basic B1 level is recommended.
The training complements that are established will be mainly focused on taking some of the subjects or thematic modules of one of the University Master's Degrees that give direct access.
