b) those students who have studies equivalent to a Bachelor's Degree (five academic years) in the thematic areas of Documentation, Communication or the Humanities;

c) students who have completed a previous Doctoral Program (for example, with a Diploma of Advanced Studies or with research proficiency) in those thematic fields and now wish to present the Doctoral Thesis.

Specific access requirements of the CAPD

All access requests must be made through the UDC website, using the student's Virtual Secretariat. The supporting documentation is delivered to the UADI of Esteiro (Calle Dr. Vázquez Cabrera, s/n; 15403-Ferrol, A Coruña).

In general, each student must prove two things:

1) compliance with the formal requirements for access to Doctoral Studies required with the regulations in force, with special attention to those candidates from countries with regulations other than the European Higher Education Area, and

2) propose a research topic that, within the framework of the three thematic areas of the Doctoral Program (Documentation, Communication and Humanities), links with any of the lines of research offered by the Program.

In relation to these aspects, to facilitate personalized attention to each applicant for admission, an interview is planned with the Coordinator of the Doctoral Program.

The CAPD will publish the provisional and final lists of those admitted in the places provided for this purpose.

When you wish to make a claim from the admitted list, the letter must be sent to the corresponding administrative services (Uxai Esteiro Departments), in a text addressed to the Coordinator of the Doctoral Program.

To request part-time enrollment, as well as to change the enrollment modality or possible temporary withdrawal, you must write to the corresponding administrative services (Uxai Esteiro Departamentos), located on Calle Dr. Vázquez Cabrera, s/ n; 15403-Ferrol, A Coruña.

The text of the application must be addressed to the Coordinator of the Doctoral Program.
