The requirements for admission to the Ph.D. Program in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Organization are:
- To have a Bachelor's degree or equivalent and a Master’s Degree in in engineering with a specialization in one of the areas of the Ph.D. Program: Mechanical Engineering; Industrial Organization; Continuum Mechanics and Theory of Structures; and Engineering thermal and Fluids.
- To have an official Bachelor's and Master’s degrees with specializations different from the specified above (Mechanical Engineering; Industrial Organization; Continuum Mechanics and Theory of Structures; and Engineering thermal and Fluids), as long as those degrees belong to the field of Sciences (degrees in physics or mathematics) or Engineering and Architecture (specializations which ensure the candidates will be able to properly follow the Program and the acquisition of the expected knowledge and abilities).

- TRAINING
In addition to the elaboration of the doctoral thesis, students must take some training aimed at improving their research skills and the scientific quality of their research work. This is structured in the following types of training.
Specific training
- Research seminars and/or conferences. It is mandatory for students to complete 30 hours of these activities throughout the doctoral training period by attending either seminars/conferences hosted by the Ph.D. Program or national or international conferences in their field of research.
- Research stays in prestigious research centers in Spain or abroad. The Ph.D. Program will actively promote the students' mobiliity so that they can benefit from training and research activities in prestigious research centers with proven high-quality doctoral programs, either in Spain or abroad (100 hours).
The research stay can be considered as one of the requirements to obtain the Doctorado Internacional distinction, provided that the center is located outside of Spain and the duration of the stay is at least three months. While these stays are not mandatory, they will be recommended and actively promoted by the Academic Committee of the Program. - Conferences or presentations by the Ph.D. candidate. Conferences of variable length for a qualified audience will also be taken into consideration in the Ph.D. candidate's training. These conferences can be conducted at congresses, scientific communication seminars, academic events or courses in scientific fields, in English or Spanish.
This activity is not mandatory and will be carried out preferrably during the last years of doctoral training.
A total 10 hours are required, including preparation and presentation.
Research skills training
Research skills training is focused on abilities common to all disciplines for the development of scientific and educational skills and the improvement of the professional career. This training consists of different activities (short courses, seminars, etc.), which can be recommended by the Academic Committee of the program.
Students are required to complete 2 credits (20 hours approximately) throughout the doctoral training period.
