LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE FROM THE THESIS SUPERVISOR (THERE IS NO MODEL, THE SUPERVISOR WRITES THE TEXT AND ADDS A DIGITAL SIGNATURE).

An important fact that you should remember when entering the programme is that to be admitted, and in addition to the academic requirements you can find here, students must first contact some of the professors on the programme to present their thesis plan in detail. The professor, through a letter, accepts the supervision of the thesis project and the joint work during the years of thesis preparation.

NON-CLASSROOM DOCTORATE

This PhD Programme is NOT a school of classroom-based courses. It consists of developing a thesis with a maximum duration of three years from the enrolment of the PhD student until the thesis is presented.

The cross-curricular activities are ONLINE, and the specific activities depend on the student’s work.

THAT IS TO SAY, IT IS THE STUDENT WHO DESIGNS THE WORK PLAN AND THE ACTIVITIES TO BE CARRIED OUT TO COMPLETE THE HOURS OF TRAINING, SHARING THE INFORMATION WITH THEIR SUPERVISOR. THE PHD PROGRAMME TRIES TO KEEP THE STUDENT PERMANENTLY INFORMED OF THOSE ACTIVITIES WITHIN OUR REACH THAT ARE OF INTEREST TO DOCTORAL STUDENTS.

TRAINING ACTIVITIES PARALLEL TO THE PREPARATION OF THE DOCTORAL THESIS, INCORPORATED INTO SENIA, THE APPLICATION FOR MANAGING ACTIVITIES AND CV.

–COMPULSORY TRAINING COURSES OF THE DOCTORAL SCHOOL. SEE THE CALENDAR OF THE DOCTORAL SCHOOL. IT IS ADVISABLE TO TAKE THEM IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMME.

(MINIMUM 60 – MAXIMUM 100 HOURS).

-COMPULSORY ACTIVITIES DECIDED AND SOUGHT BY THE STUDENT. IT IS ADVISABLE TO PLAN FROM THE FIRST YEAR AND TRY TO PUBLISH AND PARTICIPATE IN CONFERENCES IN THE SECOND YEAR:

Training Received: Minimum 100/Maximum 150 hours

Participation in congresses/Training given: Minimum 60_Maximum 180 hours

Publications: Minimum 120_Maximum 180 hours

–OTHER ACTIVITIES TO BE DECIDED BY THE STUDENT UNTIL THE 600 HOURS OF THE PROGRAMME HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

(SEE DETAILS IN THE ACTIVITIES SECTION OF THE MENU)

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO PLAN AND COMPLY WITH THE MINIMUM COMPULSORY ACTIVITIES AND DO ACTIVITIES WITHOUT MINIMUMS  TO HAVE A BALANCED COMPUTATION OF ACTIVITIES AND REACH THE 600 HOURS.

SPECIFIC AND CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

EVALUATION OF SPECIFIC AND CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

http://www.upv.es/entidades/EDOCTORADO/info/1011096normalc.html

THE SPECIFIC AND CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ARE A RESEARCH COMMITMENT PARALLEL TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE THESIS AND ARE INITIATED AND CARRIED OUT FROM THE MOMENT OF STARTING THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMME.

 

540 HOURS MINIMUM FOR SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES (IF 60 HOURS OF CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES ARE DONE)

ISSUES RELATED TO THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE DISCUSSED AND CONSULTED WITH THE DIRECTORS. THIS WAY, THEY ARE AWARE OF PROGRESS AND CAN VALIDATE THEM.

ALL ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE RESEARCH TOPIC (EXHIBITIONS, PUBLICATIONS, CONGRESSES…) ARE SUBMITTED TO THE SENIA APPLICATION FROM THE THESIS MANAGEMENT OF EACH PHD STUDENT.

ALL DOUBTS ABOUT SENIA AND ITS SECTIONS FOR THE ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE ASKED TO THE DIRECTORS. WHEN ENTERING SENIA, THERE IS A GUIDE OF ACTIVITIES AND SECTIONS.

THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES ARE FIRST APPROVED OR REJECTED BY THE DIRECTOR AND THEN REVIEWED AGAIN BY THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE (CAPD). ONCE THE CAPD VALIDATES THEM, THE PHD STUDENT WILL SEE THEM ON THE PLATFORM.

SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES MUST BE CARRIED OUT DURING THE YEARS OF PREPARATION OF THE THESIS. THEY ARE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE RESEARCH OF THE THESIS.

ATTENTION:

  ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT AT THE LATEST ONE YEAR BEFORE THE ENROLMENT ARE ACCEPTED, for example, a publication in a journal or book, participation in a conference with a paper or exhibition, carried out during the period of the Master’s degree, but not courses or classes that have nothing to do with the thesis). The director will review this activity to consider its suitability.

LANGUAGE COURSES, AND TEACHING OF SUBJECTS IN INSTITUTES OR ACADEMIES, WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE THESIS, WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

 

THE MINIMUM REQUESTED IN THE PROGRAMME IS 540 HOURS, BUT AS MANY HOURS AS THE STUDENT WISHES CAN BE INCLUDED IN SENIA AND WILL BE REFLECTED IN YOUR CV.

 

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MEET THE MINIMUM COMPULSORY HOURS

Find the corresponding section of the website of the Doctoral School for registration.

This year the school has incorporated another free and compulsory cross-curricular 10-hour course.

THE DOCTORAL SCHOOL RECOGNISES ACTIVITIES RELATED TO MANAGEMENT AS CROSS-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. THERE ARE SPECIFIC DATES FOR THIS APPLICATION.

* If the access to the doctorate has been with a B.A. degree

The course of METHODOLOGIES of the Master’s Degree in Artistic Production

(UPV) will be recognised as cross-curricular training = 40 hours.

The academic year begins on 1 September and ends on 31 July of the following year.

Doctoral students admitted to the doctoral programmes will enrol through the Doctoral School each academic year. From the 2015/2016 academic year onwards, the renewal of the second and subsequent enrolments will be automatic after the corresponding notification to the student.

If the director belongs to the UPV, they will also assume tutor functions.

Each doctoral student will have an Activities Register in which all activities of interest for the development of the doctoral programme will be recorded: research plan and training activities. This Register will form part of the student’s academic record.

Before the end of the first year, the PhD student must draw up a Research Plan that will include at least the objectives to be achieved in their thesis, the methodology to be used, and the means and the schedule to achieve them. It is advisable to do so before the start of the annual assessment process (June of the enrolled year).

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT

During June, and independently of the enrolment date, the PhD student will carry out an annual self-evaluation report of their research plan and experiences in the PhD programme.

This report will be reviewed by the thesis supervisor and/or tutor, who will issue an assessment during the first fortnight of July, which the CAPD must consider. The supervisor/tutor may ask the student to improve the report, for which the student will have 5 days in addition to the deadlines indicated.

The CAPD will evaluate the student’s Activity Record: research plan, specific training activities, and the reports issued by the tutor/director. A positive evaluation will be a prerequisite for continuing on the programme. In the event of a negative assessment, which will be duly explained, the PhD student must be re-evaluated within six months, for which purpose a new research report must be drawn up. In the event of a new negative evaluation, the PhD student will be permanently withdrawn from the programme.

 

RESEARCH PLAN AND ANNUAL SELF-REPORT

RESEARCH PLAN (FIRST YEAR) AND SELF-REPORT (EVERY YEAR)

RESEARCH PLAN (ONE ONLY) IT IS DONE DURING THE FIRST YEAR AND SUBMITTED BEFORE THE END OF ONE YEAR AFTER ENROLMENT.

Once students are enrolled, the thesis management system will automatically send emails informing them of everything they have to do.   Students are advised from the day they have enrolled that they have exactly one year to draw up the Research Plan, which the PhD Commission of the Faculty of Fine Arts must approve. There is a model to be filled in each section with a maximum of words. It will be approved by the director and then by the Academic Committee.

The research plan consists of a forecast of the different activities to be carried out by the researcher during the research process. These activities must be planned in a logical sequence and in accordance with the stages of the scientific research process, and, for each one, it is necessary to calculate the time needed for its execution and the required and adequate resources to carry them out.   It is important to consider that the forecast of the research activities is modifiable and not definitive, that it can and, in most cases, must be varied and adapted during the development of each stage of the research process.   The research plan is only an instrument of general orientation for the researcher and should not be conceived as a set of rigid, absolutely imperative and immutable determinations.   The initial title can be modified later, if the director deems it necessary, by requesting it to the CAPD, before the assignment of the evaluators.

The research plan must be approved by the CAPD within one year from the registration date.   * The form must be completed through «Thesis Management» with the sections Title and Summary, Background and current status, Bibliography, Hypotheses and objectives, Methodology, Means to be used, Time planning and justification of the research.

Explanatory notes   Maximum length of each item approx. 500 words. The application itself cuts you so that you can extend only a little. The online application does not allow text in inverted commas («) or bold or italics in each section. Common errors for which the Research Plan is usually rejected:   1) «Title and Abstract». Avoid excessively generic and overly broad titles. A broad title and a specific subtitle can be used. The «Summary» broadly describes the objectives and methodology, ending with the expected results.   2) «Background». This is not your own previous studies or personal curriculum vitae but the authors who have dealt directly or indirectly with your object of study at a theoretical and practical level. Never write that there is no background. It is advisable to end this section with the «Current status» of the research, what remains to be investigated, and what points are going to be developed in the thesis.   3) «Bibliography». It is advisable to use APA citation, as this allows you to cite some of the ideas or references in the text, which gives the impression that your ideas are well-founded.   4) «Hypothesis and objectives». Many people mistakenly put the hypothesis in question when they have to be defined by statements. The hypothesis is the answer to the research questions set out above. They are the conjectures (intuitions) before they are proved in the doctoral thesis.   With regard to the objectives, there may be one general objective and several specific ones, usually expressed with the verb in the infinitive. There is usually one per thesis chapter.   5) Leaving any section incomplete may lead to the rejection of the Research Plan.

THE FORMAT OF THE THESIS IS FREE AND is NOT COMPULSORY TO PRINT IT ON PAPER. THE TITLE PAGE MUST INCLUDE THE LOGO OF THE UPV, DOCTORATE IN ART: PRODUCTION AND RESEARCH, TITLE, AUTHOR, DIRECTOR AND TUTOR, VALÈNCIA AND DATE.  FOR MORE INFORMATION AND THESIS REQUIREMENTS: http://www.upv.es/entidades/EDOCTORADO/info/1066614normalc.html CONSULT FOR MORE INFORMATION AND THESIS REQUIREMENTS: http://www.upv.es/entidades/EDOCTORADO/info/1066614normalc.html

 

ANNUAL SELF-REPORT

Once the Research Plan has been approved, every year in June, a self-report of the activities and progress of the thesis must be made. This is done from the corresponding section of Thesis Management. This must be done every year. It will be approved by the director and then by the Academic Committee.

THEREFORE,  THE RESEARCH PLAN (UNIQUE) FROM THE ANNUAL SELF-REPORT (EVERY YEAR) ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

 

THE PHD STUDENT IN THIS PROGRAMME MUST COMMIT TO WORK ON THEIR CV FROM THE BEGINNING AND PARALLEL TO THE ELABORATION OF THE THESIS.

APPLICATIONS FOR LEAVES AND EXTENSIONS

*Here, we explain the regulations and procedures for the following applications. In case you want more information click here.

________________________________________

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION

If the three-year period has elapsed and the application to deposit the thesis has not been submitted, the programme committee may authorise the extension of this period for a further year, which may exceptionally be extended for an additional year, under the conditions established in the corresponding PhD programme. In the case of part-time studies, the extension may be authorised for a further two years, which may also, exceptionally, be extended for a further year.

Applications for extensions can be made 6 months before the deadline for the completion of the thesis.

The process is done through the tool «Thesis Management». Starting from the summary screen (the first one shown in the tool), the preparation phase, and requests for extensions/deletions.

 

EXTENSION REQUEST

________________________________________

REQUEST FOR LEAVE (MEDICAL LEAVE, PREGNANCY/MATERNITY/PATERNITY)

To calculate the duration of PhD studies, leaves of absence due to illness, pregnancy or any other cause provided for by current regulations will not be considered.

To register these situations, it is possible to use the computer tool «Thesis management» – Preparation phase – Application for leave/extensions, in two different options: Medical leave and Pregnancy/Maternity/Paternity.

For these two options, a motivation (simple text that does not need to be explicit or detailed) and a supporting document are requested, which, in the case of medical leave, will generally be a work leave report. However, a medical certificate is also accepted if there is no work leave and will necessarily include the start and end date of the situation. Detailed diagnoses are not required and can be requested at any time, usually at the end of the situation. No doctor’s appointments, diagnostic reports or treatment appointments are accepted. In the case of long periods of work leave, only the first (beginning of the situation) and the last (end of the situation) leave reports are required.

For pregnancy/maternity/paternity leave, it is sufficient to present a document confirming the start of the situation (hospitalisation certificate, family record book, etc.). The maximum time of this situation will be the maximum established by law, including maternity and breastfeeding periods: 20 weeks for maternity/pregnancy and 12 weeks for paternity (16 from 1/01/2021).

Cases of leave due to risky pregnancy are processed as medical leave with the same characteristics and requirements established for this type of leave.

 

REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY LEAVE

PhD students may request temporary leave from the programme for a maximum period of one year, extendable for a further year. This request must be addressed and justified to the academic committee responsible for the programme, which will decide whether the PhD student’s request can be granted.
