- Candidates who have completed a master’s degree in the area of Social Sciences at the UPV/EHU.

- Candidates who have studied the master’s degree in Secondary Education must complete additional training in the master’s degree in Psychodidactics: Psychology of Education and Specific Didactics.
In all cases, each individual student’s report will be studied to assess their suitability. Likewise, it will be considered an additional asset if the application is endorsed by a person who may direct the student’s thesis and who forms part of the doctoral programme.

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.
