General Aims of the Doctorate

The main objective of the doctoral programme is to train doctors for advanced research in the field of Architecture, Urbanism and Building. In this way, the student can join the world of specialized research lines defined in the program. It also aims to promote the initiative in developing research projects, promote the acquisition of general skills related to the ability of individual and team working, and finally the production of the doctoral thesis.

Structure of Doctorate

The formation period of the doctorate programme is linked to the following Master's degree introduced on the University (in order to the RD 1393/2007):
