The PhD programme in Studies in Antiquity and the Middle Ages draws together several lines of research that cover the periods of Antiquity and the Middle Ages and which involve different disciplines: history, archaeology and philology. The teaching staff belongs to the Department of Studies in Antiquity and the Middle Ages and to different areas of knowledge linked to these disciplines. Thus, the lines of research available to prospective PhD students are Egyptology and Ancient Oriental Studies, Ancient History and Archaeology, Medieval History and Archaeology, Latin Philology, Greek Philology, Indo-European Linguistics and Historiographic Sciences and Techniques. The lecturers on this programme lead or participate in national and international research projects that can accommodate the research conducted by students on this programme. The chronological range and the confluence of the three aforementioned disciplines means that students can go beyond the particular research field chosen for the doctoral thesis, guided by teachers with expertise in several complementary disciplines. The department regularly organises seminars, colloquia and conferences in which students can take an active part. Students will also be given opportunities to publish their research in journals and monographs.

Admission Requirements

In general, to gain access to an official PhD programme the candidate must hold a Spanish degree or equivalent and a Master's degree.

Access may be granted where the following cases apply:

  • Hold an official Spanish university degree or a degree from another country in the EEES which grants access to a Master's degree in accordance with article 16 of RD 1393/2007, of 29 October, and have achieved a minimum of 300 ECTS credits in university studies of which at least 60 must be at Master's level. In this case we must remember that the official university degree obtained correspondence to Level 2 of the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education (MECES), for official titles of Graduate or Engineer will be accounted for as a degree of 180 ECTS.
  • Hold an official Spanish qualification at graduate level, the duration of which, in accordance with community law, must be at least 300 ECTS credits. These graduates must take compulsory background credit referred to in article 7.2 of RD 99/2011, except where the syllabus of the degree course includes research training credits equivalent to the research credits awarded on Master's courses.
  • University graduates who, before obtaining a place as a result of the entrance exam for specialist health courses, have passed at least two years of a programme for an official qualification in one of the Health Science specialisations.
  • Holder of a qualification obtained in accordance with foreign educational systems without the need for official recognition, having previously confirmed with the university that this qualification accredits a level of training equivalent to the official Spanish university Master's degree and that it would serve as a means of access to a PhD in the country in which it was awarded. This admission does not under any circumstances imply official recognition of the previous qualification or recognition for any purpose other than access to PhD studies.
  • Holders of another Spanish PhD qualification, obtained in accordance with the previous university's rules.
  • Holders of a degree who also have the Diploma of Advanced Studies obtained in accordance with the provisions of RD 778/1998, of 30 April, or have achieved research proficiency under the terms outlined in RD 185/1985, of 23 January.
