Tutor and Supervisor Assignment

 

The assignment of the tutor will be made by the Academic and Quality Committee of the Program on a proposal from the coordinator or the program coordinator, immediately after the registration phase.

The letter of commitment presented by the doctoral student will be taken into account. In any case, it is considered of the utmost importance that there is a smooth and fruitful collaboration between the tutor and the supervisor, if they are different persons. The tutor will be part of the teaching staff in all cases.

The thesis supervisor shall be appointed by the Academic and Quality Committee of the programme on a proposal from the coordinator, within the first three months after the date of enrolment of the student. The letter of commitment submitted by the student and the area of research to which she or he wants to be assigned will be taken into account. The final approval will be given by the Doctoral School.

In the case of two thesis supervisors, the doctoral candidate shall indicate this in the research plan and must justify the suitability of the persons proposed for the supervision of her/his thesis, and the need for such joint direction.
