The PhD Programme in Chemical and Environmental Engineering is attached to the USC International PhD School (EDIUS). The purpose of EDIUS is the management and coordination of PhD studies at USC, as well as the processes leading to the award of the PhD degree. It is also responsible for the coordination of USC’s advanced studies. Its purpose is to conceive a flexible, interdisciplinary and quality PhD training model, aimed at promoting the lines of research of greatest interest and projection of the university.
The PhD Programme in Chemical and Environmental Engineering is based on the following premises:
1. To maintain the educational trajectory developed since the first PhD awarded by the USC in our area in 1958.
2. To promote advanced training of current and future Chemical Engineers at the frontier of knowledge in the areas of Chemical and Environmental Engineering within the structure of the new European Higher Education Area.
3. To train new research personnel with a view to their future incorporation in the R&D&I areas of companies, which is key to the strengthening of value-added productive sectors in our country, also promoting the development of a sustainable research structure.
4. To attract foreign postgraduates, both European and from other regions of the world. In particular, the aim is to maintain and increase the number of Latin American students who have traditionally completed their theses in the different historical versions of our PhD programme.
The specific objectives of the programme are as follows:
1.To train PhDs whose incorporation into the industrial sector favours the creation and implementation of R&D&I teams.
2.To incorporate graduates into the university world, in particular into the research groups that participate in the PhD programme, promoting their involvement not only in research itself, but also in project management.
3. To promote the exchange of knowledge with research groups from other R+D+i centres through the mobility of our students and teaching staff.
4. To enhance scientific and technological knowledge in the area of Chemical Engineering, promoting its dissemination both in the specific research sector (attendance at congresses, scientific publications with a high impact index, seminars, etc.)/ etc.) and to society in general (through activities such as Science Day, G-Night, etc.).
5. To promote the industrial PhD, aligning itself especially with the needs of the Galician industrial sector.

The new programme, which keeps its current name, works on the following premises:

  1. To continue along the educational path developed since the first doctorate by the USC in our area in the year 1958.
  2. To promote training in advanced areas in the frontier of knowledge of Chemical Engineering, Environmental Biotechnology of the current and future chemical engineers within the new Bologna structure.
  3. To train new research staff, with their future incorporation into the areas of R&D of firms in mind, which is a key element for research to take off in our country, and encouraging the development of a structure of sustainable research.
  4. To draw foreign graduates, both European and from other regions of the world. A specific aim is to maintain and increase the number of students from Latin America that traditionally developed their dissertation in our previous Doctoral programmes.

The programmes specific objectives are the following:

  1. Incorporate graduates into the university world, specifically into the Department's lines of research, fostering their involvement not only in research itself, but also in the management of projects.
  2. Train doctors whose incorporation to the industrial sector favours the creation and deployment of R&D teams.
  3. Promote the exchange of knowledge with research groups in other R&D centres through the mobility of our students and teachers.
  4. Increase the scientific and technological knowledge in the areas of Chemical, Environmental, and Bioprocesses Engineering, fostering its dissemination in scientific journal citation reports.

Access profile without supplementary training:

1) Degree in Chemical Engineering and any of the following master’s from de USC:

  • University Master’s in Chemichal and Bio-process Engineering
  • University Master’s in Chemical and Environmental Processes Engineering.
  • Unvierstiy Master’s in Environmental Engineering

2) Students with the Diploma in Advanced Studies obtained through former doctoral programmes in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from the USC.

Other access profiles:

  • Students with other graduate and master's degrees: The Academic Committee evaluates each case individually. The possibility of requiring supplementary training (maximum 15 ECTS credits) will be considered.
  • Students who did not take master's courses: They will need an equivalence of training in research credits, equal to at least the master's degree that provides direct access, which is 60 ECTS credits.

It is a compulsory requisite for admission in the Doctorate Program to present a viability report or a reference letter of a professor from the Doctorate Program that supports the viability of the future PhD Thesis within the framework of a research line of the program.

The assessment of the admission criteria that CAPD will take into account is as follows:
1.    Academic record (60%): The criterion will be the average of the grades obtained in the master's degree (or DEA or research proficiency)
2.    Research experience and its results (10%): in this section, publications, communications and other scientific contributions to congresses and their suitability to the research lines of the doctoral program will be assessed. Candidates must submit the corresponding documentation that supports the merits claimed.
3.    Professional experience (5%): in this section, the professional experience of the candidates (when related to the research lines of the doctoral program) will be assessed. Candidates must submit supporting documentation (certification of employment life, copy of contracts, scholarships, etc.).
4.    Other aspects indicated in the candidate's CV (10%): in this section, research stays, courses taken and courses taught (when related to the lines of research of the program) and knowledge of English (level B2 or higher) and/or languages other than the mother tongue will be assessed. Candidates must submit supporting documentation.
5.    Personal interview (15%): This section will assess aspects such as motivation and aptitude, communication skills, etc.

The admission profile establishes the knowledge, skills and abilities that students wishing to access this programme must possess and, consequently, the most suitable qualifications for access to the programme and which determine admission and, where appropriate, the need or otherwise for PhD students to undertake additional training. In general, the bachelor’s and master’s degrees that will allow direct admission to this PhD programme without additional training will be those assigned to the field of knowledge of Chemical and Environmental Engineering. For any other profile within the fields of knowledge of Science and Engineering, the CAPD will study each case individually, and may or may not admit students and establish complementary training if necessary. In the event that the student lacks the previous training required in the programme, admission may be conditional upon the completion of the specific training complements established by the Academic Committee (maximum 15 ECTS). The completion of these complements will be prior to or at the same time as enrolment in academic supervision on the PhD programme. If it is not prior, it will not be counted for the purposes of the minimum and maximum periods established for the completion of the PhD studies. The training complements must be passed in the first academic year; otherwise, the PhD student will be withdrawn from the corresponding PhD programme. These training complements may be master’s or bachelor’s degree subjects, and for the purposes of public prices and the awarding of grants and study aids, they will be considered as PhD-level training.
As the lingua franca of science and technology, knowledge of English (minimum level B1) is recommended to enable the PhD student to communicate his/her results to the scientific community in an international context.

Access

The general access and admission requirements are those set out in Royal Decree 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official PhD studies, and as amended by Royal Decree 576/2023, of 4 July. These are:
1. In general, in order to access an official PhD programme, it shall be necessary to hold an official Spanish Bachelor´s degree, or equivalent, and a Master´s degree or equivalent, provided that at least 300 ECTS credits have been obtained in these two courses as a whole.
2. Access may also be granted to those who are in one of the following situations:
a) To hold official university degrees or equivalent Spanish degrees, provided that at least 300 ECTS credits have been passed in these courses as a whole, and accredit a level 3 of the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education.
b) To hold a degree obtained in accordance with foreign education systems belonging to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), without the need for homologation, which accredits a level 7 of the European Qualifications Framework, provided that this degree entitles access to PhD studies in the country of issue of the same. This admission shall not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree held by the interested party nor its recognition for purposes other than access to PhD studies.
c) To hold a degree obtained in accordance with foreign education systems outside the EHEA, without the need for its recognition, after verification by the university that it accredits a level of training equivalent to that of the official Spanish university Master´s degree and that it entitles the holder to access PhD studies in the country in which the degree was awarded. This admission shall not imply, in any case, the homologation of the previous degree held by the interested party, nor its recognition for purposes other than that of access to PhD studies.
d) To hold another PhD or Doctorate degree.
e) Likewise, university graduates who, after obtaining a place in training in the corresponding entrance examination to specialised health training posts, have passed with a positive evaluation at least two years of training in a programme for obtaining the official qualification in one of the specialities in Health Sciences, may also be admitted.

A mandatory requirement for admission to the PhD programme is the submission of a report by the student consisting of a letter of reference from a professor of the programme that i) endorses the potential viability of the future thesis within the framework of a line of research of the programme to which it is linked, and that ii) could act as a supervisor if the necessary requirements for this are met.
