This inter-university Doctoral Program between the Universities of Vigo and Salamanca contributes to filling an empty space until now in the field of Geotechnologies applied to key sectors such as industry, energy and construction. Geotechnologies cover different areas of knowledge in a transversal way, so that they can constitute key components for their technological improvement and competitiveness in the market. Activities such as obtaining cartography, positioning systems, quantitative and qualitative verification in the execution and maintenance of works and buildings, or dimensional control in different fields of industry or related to energy are activities of great economic importance in which this area of ​​knowledge is called upon to contribute to their improvement. Objectives of the Program:

- To train researchers and technologists with an excellent scientific basis and adequate criteria in the selection of technological solutions to problems related to Geotechnologies. - To train researchers who can easily access the labor market, both nationally and internationally. - To promote exchange between universities internationally. - Train qualified doctors to begin an academic career that guarantees teaching and research quality and permanent technological renewal in the field of Geotechnologies applied to Construction, Energy and Industry.

Admission Requirements

Admission criteria

Priority will be given to those candidates who present a technological profile (engineering degrees, architecture, computer science), in accordance with the nature of the Doctoral Program. In the event of vacancies, applicants who do not have a profile in the field of technology may be admitted. The CAPD will evaluate and resolve the admission in each case.

The criteria for admission of students, as well as the prioritization of applications received for participation in the doctoral program, will be based on criteria of merit and ability, and specifically will take into account aspects such as:

  • Average mark of the academic transcript, both undergraduate and master's degree.
  • Previous research experience, with special emphasis on experience within the thematic area of ​​the doctoral program.
  • Professional experience.

The CAPD, or the commission for the purpose in which it delegates, will hold interviews with the candidates in order to establish and clarify their merits.
