The main aim of the programme is to provide students with training in the sciences and technologies that are most widely applied and useful in the aerospace field. The programme covers the fundamentals of theory and practice, as well as methodology, and provides general training in research techniques, all with the aim of producing original, high-quality research papers (doctoral theses) in the fields indicated. Students learn about the most relevant scientific and technical advances in these fields, the scientific and technical methods used by research teams to achieve them, and technological and industrial applications related to these developments. Students gain advanced knowledge and skills in aerospace science and technology and the preparation required to undertake research, development and innovation activities in this area.The doctoral programme in Aerospace Science and Technology cuts across several research areas recognised as priorities at the UPC: science, civil engineering, ICT engineering and industrial engineering. Aerospace research and development generates high added value, and research in this area has a wide range of applications in other fields. In a knowledge society, a doctoral programme in aerospace science and technology is therefore a tool for continuous development. Companies in the aerospace sector are increasingly seeking to recruit staff with doctoral level training to sustain the continuous innovation needed in this highly competitive sector. Graduates of the UPC doctoral programme in Aerospace Science and Technology have an essential role to play as drivers of innovation and in supporting socio-economic development.

Applicants must hold a Spanish bachelor’s degree or equivalent and a Spanish master’s degree or equivalent, provided they have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on the two degrees (Royal Decree 43/2015, of 2 February(open in new window))

In addition, the following may apply:

  • Holders of an official degree awarded by a university in Spain or any other country in the European Higher Education Area, pursuant to the provisions of Article 16 of Royal Decree 1393/2007, of 29 October, which establishes official university course regulations, who have completed a minimum of 300 ECTS credits on official university degrees, of which at least 60 must be at the master's degree level.
  • Holders of an official Spanish bachelor’s degree comprising at least 300 credits, as provided for by EU regulations. Holder of degrees of this kind must complete bridging courses unless the curriculum of the bachelor’s degree in question included research training credits equivalent in value to those which would be earned on a master's degree.
  • Holders of an official university qualification who, having passed the entrance examination for specialised medical training, have completed at least two years of a training course leading to an official degree in a health-sciences specialisation.
  • Holders of a degree issued under a foreign education system. In these cases, homologation is not required, but the UPC must verify that the degree certifies a level of training equivalent to an official Spanish master's degree and qualifies the holder for admission to doctoral studies in the country where it was issued. Admission on this basis does not imply homologation of the foreign degree or its recognition for any purpose other than admission to doctoral studies.
  • Holders of a Spanish doctoral qualification issued under previous university regulations.
  • Note 1: Doctoral studies entrance regulations for holders of an undergraduate degree awarded before the introduction of the EHEA (CG 47/02 2014)
