About the program
The Ph.D. Program in Mathematical Engineering is the natural continuation of the studies leading to a Master’s Degree in Mathematical Engineering.
The program may include advanced training for the elaboration and presentation of an original research project as content of the Ph.D. thesis, in accordance with the lines of research established by the six departments participating in the program.
Objectives
The program provides students with the required tools to deal with technological or scientific problems by means of- A precise mathematical / physical / statistical foundation
- A formulation of a model in mathematical terms
- A theoretical and/or numerical solution of a model
- The analytical skills to solve complex problems in engineering
- Program regulated by RD 99/2011, January 2018
- ACCESS
Student profile
These skills require the use of mathematical tools that help physical phenomenon modeling and statistical tools to enable the formulation of empirical models from observation. Some experience is also required in managing mathematical computer programs (like, Mathematica, MatLab, or R).
The languages used in the training process will be Spanish and/or English, so it is necessary to have a good knowledge of these languages.
Admission requirements
The program’s admission requires a Bachelor's degree or equivalent and Master’s Degree, (at least 60 ECTS credits), with quantitative training in the area of Mathematical Engineering.
The same requirements apply to applicants with equivalent studies in foreign educational systems. No homologation of degrees is required, if sufficient proof is given of a background comparable to a Spanish Bachelor and Master’s degrees and allows access to Ph.D. studies in the issuing country.
Students with quantitative training in the area of Mathematical Engineering will be considered for direct admission to the Ph.D.
Students trained in other areas may be admitted with the requirement of an additional specific training up to 30 ECTS credits.
Finally, applicants with other Spanish Ph.D.’s may be admitted.
Admission criteria
Admission is determined according to the criteria set by the Academic Committee listed below. These are implemented by the coordinator of the program, who reports to the Committee on a regular basis.
Admission is based on merit and capacity of the candidates, for which the following aspects are considered:
- Academic record of previous studies
- Curriculum Vitae
- Endorsement letters from professors of the university or from other institutions or organizations, with direct knowledge of the capacity and competence of the candidate
- Thesis project proposal, provided by the candidate
- Connection of the project with the lines of research of the Ph.D. Program. The thesis project can be endorsed by a professor from the program
- A personal interview can be conducted if deemed necessary, with at least one member of the Academic Committee being present
Besides the thesis project proposal, the updated CV and the copies of academic certificates must also be provided by the candidate.
Endorsement letters must be submitted by the professors to admisiondoctorado@uc3m.es (indicating full name of the candidate-Ph.D. in Mathematical Engineering-uc3m).
The Academic Committee will determine the convenience of a personal interview and the weight of each criteria listed above: academic background and training of the candidate (minimum 50%); interest and suitability of the project for the lines of research of the program (minimum 30%).The admission criteria and procedures are equal for part-time and full-time candidates.
Resolutions of admission to the program may require up to 30 ECTS credits of complementary training. The Academic Committee will determine the specific subjects and research work of the complementary training, with input from the tutor and thesis advisor. Full-time students will take these credits during the first year on the program. Part-time students will take these credits during their first two years.

Ph.D. Studies
What is a Ph.D.?
A Ph.D. is a period of training in skills and abilities required to undertake independent, high-quality research work in the realm of R&D under the supervision of top experts in their respective fields.
What are the terms of access to a Ph.D. program?
As a general rule, candidates are required to hold a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree. Credits for both must amount to at least 300 ECTS credits.
Additionally, specific requirements and candidate profiles are described in each program’s terms of access. Before applying for admission, it is strongly recommended to take the Ph.D. Programs into consideration, as well as its lines of research, profiles of the scholars involved and final results (theses and scientific publications) as proof of the program’s quality and specialization.
What is the duration of a Ph.D.?The regular duration of a full-time Ph.D. program is 3 years. This period can be extended up to 5 years.
The regular duration of a part-time Ph.D. program is 5 years. This period can be extended up to 8 years.
You may apply, for justified reasons, for either an extension or a leave of absence from your Ph.D. training period to the Academic Committee of your program. Your request must be endorsed by your tutor/advisor. Further information: Duration of Ph.D. studies
Can I do my Ph.D. entirely online?
No. All Ph.D. Programs require some face-to-face activity throughout the training period. The duration of face-to-face activity is established by each Program.
How can I apply for a part-time enrollment status?
You can state your part-time enrollment status upon admission or, once you have initiated your training period, by submitting a request for justified reasons to the Academic Committee of your program. Your request must be endorsed by your tutor/advisor. Further information: Enrollment status for Ph.D. studies
Must I take any other training in addition to my research work?
Yes. There are three different types of additional training to be taken during your Ph.D.:
- Complementary training. Applicable only to students whose terms of admission state this training as required.

The Academic Committee may change these designations throughout your doctoral training period for justified reasons.
Must I take any other training in addition to my research work?
Yes. There are three different types of additional training to be taken during your Ph.D.:
- Complementary training. Maximum: 40 ECTS credits. Applicable only to students whose terms of admission state this training as required. The Academic Committee will determine the credit-based courses or subjects in the admission resolution. As a general rule, this training must be taken during the first year.
- Specific training. Students are also expected to participate in a number of activities relevant to their field of research: seminars, meetings, conferences, courses, etc. These activities may require prior enrollment at uc3m. Your tutor or advisor will confirm the contents of your specific training program.
- Research Skills training. Some Ph.D. programs at uc3m require training in research skills focused on abilities common to all disciplines (communication, academic writing, stress management, etc.). These credits can be earned at either uc3m or other institutions and require formal enrollment at uc3m in all cases, as well as the approval of your tutor or advisor.
How is the progress of my research evaluated?
The Academic Committee of your program will evaluate the progress of your research project and activity report on an annual basis in the month of June. Grounds for evaluation are to be registered in the following documents:
- Research Plan. Not to be mistaken for the research proposal submitted when applying for admission. As a new Ph.D. student, you must elaborate an initial Research Plan within the first year of your doctoral training period. This plan will serve as a tracking tool of your project, listing the objectives and methodology of your research as well as a comprehensible timeline stating the periods estimated for the achievement of each goal. It must have attached your tutor or advisor's evaluation report in order to be submitted for assessment to the Academic Committee of your program.
An annual update of this Plan must be submitted in subsequent years, with the corresponding tutor or advisor’s evaluation report, so that all parties involved in your doctoral training can track and assess your progress.
- Activity Report. In addition to your Research Plan (initial or updated), it is also required to register any activity relevant to your Ph.D. research: courses, seminars, meetings, conventions, publications, international fellowship programs, etc. Be sure to have attached all certificates and/or work papers as proof of completion.
