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 compulsory requirement for admission to the PhD programme is the presentation of a report by the student consisting of a reference letter from a lecturer of the programme who 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 who ii) could act as supervisor if he/she fulfils the necessary requirements for this.
In the event that the student does not demonstrate a minimum knowledge of Spanish, Galician or Portuguese, he/she must have a minimum knowledge of English (equivalent to level B1), not only because it is currently the common language of scientific communication at international level, but also because part of the courses, both specific and transversal, as well as various activities of the programme can be carried out in this language. The level will be accredited with the corresponding official certification of those included in the list of accreditations recognised by the Centro de Lenguas Modernas (CLM) of the USC for the different levels of the Common European Framework: https://www.usc.gal/gl/centro/centro-linguas-modernas.
Students will be selected for admission to the programme on the basis of the following criteria:
- Academic record (40%): this will be determined by the grades obtained in the master’s degree (or in the Diploma of Advanced Studies or Research Proficiency if applicable).
- Previous research experience and results (40%): publications, communications and other scientific contributions will be taken into account, as well as their suitability to the research lines of the Master’s programme. Candidates must submit supporting documentation for each merit provided.
- Professional experience (20%): professional experience related to the research lines of the programme will be valued. Candidates must submit supporting documentation (e.g. certification of employment history, copies of contracts, grants, etc.).
The same criteria will be applied to admit all students regardless of whether they are full-time or part-time.
The PhD programme may be terminated for any of the following reasons:
• Failure to pass the accreditation renewal process established in article 10 of RD 99/2011.
• Failure to accredit compliance with the requirements established by the state or regional regulations in force.
• A proposal is made to terminate the programme as part of the degree review and improvement process in accordance with the procedure approved by the university.
• The occurrence of any exceptional situation that prevents the correct development of the PhD programme.
Termination shall have the following effects:
• It will entail the loss of its official status and its removal from the RUCT.
• It will not be possible to enrol new students in the PhD programme.
• In any case, all affected students must be informed of the termination and of the consequences for the development of their studies.
The University shall adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the academic rights of the students who are taking these studies under the terms established in the resolution for the termination of the study plan, and shall approve the procedure for the termination of the PhD programmes within the University.

Access to the Doctoral Programme without supplementary training is open to students with a master's degree in The Environment and Natural Resources or in Environmental Engineering by the USC, as well as to students with other master degrees that the Doctoral Programme's Academic Committee considers are related to The Environment and Natural Resources.
Other profiles: The Academic Committee could propose taking supplementary training, up to a maximum of 15 ECTS credits, from compulsory subjects from the Master's Degree in The Environment and Natural Resources. The specific supplementary training subjects from the Master's Degree in The Environment and Natural Resources that students have not taken and are recommended by their tutor or by the Academic Committee.
A B1 level of English , as per the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages is required.
Specific criteria of admission are the following:
- Academic transcript: 40%
- Research experience: 40%
- Professional experience: 20%
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, whether or not PhD students need to undertake complementary training.
In general terms, those with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field of science and the environment (e.g. Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Environmental Engineering, etc.) or with degrees related to the programme’s lines of research will be able to access this programme without the need to take complementary courses. For any other profile, the CAPD will study each case individually in order to admit or not potential students and, if necessary, will establish the training complements to be taken. These complements may not exceed 15 ECTS (see section 3.4. Training complements) and must be passed for admission to the programme to be effective.
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 compulsory requirement for admission to the PhD programme is the presentation of a report by the student consisting of a reference letter from a lecturer of the programme who 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 who ii) could act as supervisor if he/she fulfils the necessary requirements for this.
In the event that the student does not demonstrate a minimum knowledge of Spanish, Galician or Portuguese, he/she must have a minimum knowledge of English (equivalent to level B1), not only because it is currently the common language of scientific communication at international level, but also because part of the courses, both specific and transversal, as well as various activities of the programme can be carried out in this language. The level will be accredited with the corresponding official certification of those included in the list of accreditations recognised by the Centro de Lenguas Modernas (CLM) of the USC for the different levels of the Common European Framework: https://www.usc.gal/gl/centro/centro-linguas-modernas.
Students will be selected for admission to the programme on the basis of the following criteria:
- Academic record (40%): this will be determined by the grades obtained in the master’s degree (or in the Diploma of Advanced Studies or Research Proficiency if applicable).
- Previous research experience and results (40%): publications, communications and other scientific contributions will be taken into account, as well as their suitability to the research lines of the Master’s programme. Candidates must submit supporting documentation for each merit provided.
- Professional experience (20%): professional experience related to the research lines of the programme will be valued. Candidates must submit supporting documentation (e.g. certification of employment history, copies of contracts, grants, etc.).
The same criteria will be applied to admit all students regardless of whether they are full-time or part-time.
The PhD programme may be terminated for any of the following reasons:
• Failure to pass the accreditation renewal process established in article 10 of RD 99/2011.
• Failure to accredit compliance with the requirements established by the state or regional regulations in force.
• A proposal is made to terminate the programme as part of the degree review and improvement process in accordance with the procedure approved by the university.
• The occurrence of any exceptional situation that prevents the correct development of the PhD programme.
Termination shall have the following effects:
• It will entail the loss of its official status and its removal from the RUCT.
• It will not be possible to enrol new students in the PhD programme.
• In any case, all affected students must be informed of the termination and of the consequences for the development of their studies.
The University shall adopt the necessary measures to guarantee the academic rights of the students who are taking these studies under the terms established in the resolution for the termination of the study plan, and shall approve the procedure for the termination of the PhD programmes within the University.
