Doctoral Program in Chemistry at the Complutense University of Madrid have a long and recognized track record. The four departments involved in the program, Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering, have traditionally developed Quality Doctorate programs and have been recognized as such by the Ministry of Education on different occasions. In particular, this program, which began in the 2014-2015 academic year, is the direct successor of the Doctoral Program in Advanced Chemistry, currently in force, with a history of four years, and which has the Mention of Excellence (MEE2011-0111 ) by resolution of October 6, 2011 (BOE 10/20/2011). Based on the experience gained from previous doctoral programs, a potential demand is expected in this doctoral program of about 40 students per academic year, so the expected offer of places is 40 per year, of which 20% are reserved, preferably, for part-time students.

Admission Requirements
If you are from an EU country, you will have access if you hold a bachelor's degree, or equivalent, from a Spanish university or from a university in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and a university Masters degree. You may also apply if you have a minimum number of 300 ECTS credits, of which at least 60 (one academic year) must be at Masters level. ECTS are credits recognised in the European Higher Education Area and are equivalent to 25-30 hours of work.
If you are a graduate from outside the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) you can access the university without the need to certify your degrees, once the UCM verified that the level of studies is equivalent to a Masters degree at a university in Spain. Access via this route does not in any case imply the official certification of your degree prior to starting your Masters course.
To complete your doctoral studies you will need to present a doctoral thesis consisting of an original work of research by the student in any field of knowledge.
