TRAINING COMPLEMENTS
Depending on the student's profile and the line of research in which he/she chooses to do the PhD, the Academic Commission of the Programme and the tutor assigned to the student may agree, after analysing his/her academic record, that he/she should undertake specific complementary training. Students who, in accordance with Article 6 of Royal Decree 99/2011, have access to the doctoral programme, but do not meet any of the requirements specified in points A. and B. of the recommended entry profile, must take certain subjects in order to acquire the corresponding competences.
The following table proposes, by way of reference, the Master's courses in Environmental Hydraulics that students could take for the knowledge and competences required for the two lines of research proposed by the UMA. The Academic Commission of the programme and the tutor assigned to the student will decide, by analysing the student's profile, whether the training complements indicated therein can be substituted by other equivalent activities of other official master's degrees offered in the universities participating in the Doctoral Progamme.
| Training complements proposed to acquire these skills | |
Physical-mathematical knowledge and ability to formulate and solve analytically and numerically the mathematical problems that arise when modelling the processes of interest in the area of biogeochemical flows. | Fundamentals and applied methods in Environmental Hydraulics | |
| ||
Ability to describe, characterise and model natural processes related to flows of water, substances and living resources. | Dynamics of biogeochemical fluxes | |
| ||
Ability to describe and assess the uncertainty of processes, their diagnosis and prognosis. | Data processing and visualisation | |
| ||
Capacity to optimise the management of inland and/or marine water resources and associated flows taking into account social, environmental and economic impacts, meeting the requirements of reliability, functionality and operability, and of the Water Framework Directive. | Dynamic processes in geophysical fluids Numerical simulation of geophysical flows Biological coupling and Computational Fluid Mechanics |
Students included in cases a), b), c) and d) of point 2 of Article 6 of Royal Decree 99/2011 must accredit their previous experience and training in research with at least one publication (original work) in an indexed scientific journal or, failing that, in scientific journals or conference proceedings published with ISBN, provided that they have prestige in their area or accredited selection and review mechanisms.
The Academic Commission of the programme will approve a list of non-indexed journals and conferences that meet these conditions, which will be published on the website of the programme and reviewed at the beginning of each academic year. In the event that the student cannot provide documentary proof of having the minimum recommended level of any of the languages required for the programme as specified in point C of the Recommended entry profile, the Academic Commission may assess by personal interview whether the student has sufficient command of the language and recommend, where appropriate, the completion of a course that will enable him/her to reach the minimum level.
