Admission criteria
Profile for admission
Candidates who wish to enrol on this doctoral programme must provide academic proof that they have completed studies in Chemistry, Physics or similar disciplines.
They should ideally be motivated and interested in studying the behaviour of matter at a microscopic or molecular level, in areas such as the interaction between radiation and matter, molecular spectroscopy or nanostructures.
Depending on the academic careers of the students selected, the Academic Committee may recommend basic training in specific subjects related to the lines of research in the programme, such as laser spectroscopy, computational chemistry or materials science. This training would be directed and supervised by the student's tutor.
The students will be admitted who have a profile of graduate and master studies in chemistry (with emphasis on physical chemistry) or physics. The following criteria will be considered:- Student's record 65% - Affinity of the master with the research lines of the doctorate program 20%- Previous research experience (if any) 5%- Knowledge of English 10%

Procedure for assigning a faculty member as a doctoral thesis tutor and director
Once a student has been accepted onto the doctoral programme, the Academic Commission will assign them a tutor and at least one director from among the faculty at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) participating in the programme.
When a letter of endorsement is required from Doctoral Programme, director of the candidate will be the person indicated at the endorsement letter. No candidates will be accepted without endorsement letter, when it is required by doctoral programme.
Tutors are responsible for interactions between the doctoral candidate and the Academic Commission. They are also responsible for adapting training and research activities to the principles of the programmes and, where appropriate, the Doctoral School.
