Innovation and research in the professional field of security and risk/conflict analysis

The PhD programme in Security and Risk and Conflict Analysis arises in a scientific, economic and social context as a result of the need to provide an adequate multidimensional response to some of the most relevant problems of contemporary societies, such as security, in its multiple facets, as well as the analysis of the risks that can generate conflicts, and of the conflicts themselves, both national and international.

Access to the doctoral programme

The criteria for access to the PhD programme are detailed in the previous section, and are those established by law for this purpose. Therefore, any candidate who meets these criteria would have legal access to the programme.

However, for those who meet the general entry requirements set out in the current legislation for doctoral studies in Spain, the recommended priority profile for admission to this doctoral programme is a graduate in a degree in the area of Security and Defence, Law, International Relations and Political Science and Administration and other graduates with postgraduate training in related degrees, who must also have completed a university master's degree with a structure containing at least 16 ECTS in subjects related to research, including the Master's Thesis. With regard to university master's degrees, particular preference will be given to those who have completed at our university or at another university the Master's Degree in Security and Defence; the Master's Degree in International Humanitarian Law, Human Rights and Operational Law; the Master's Degree in Conflict Risk Management; the Master's Degree in International Relations and the Master's Degree in Cybercrime.

A second admissible profile will be that of people who, having fulfilled the general access requirements set out in the current legislation for doctoral studies in Spain and having completed the studies mentioned in the previous paragraph or similar to them but without having completed a university master's degree whose structure contains at least 16 ECTS in subjects related to research, including the Master's Thesis, are willing to undertake the appropriate training complements. In this case, if the candidate is admitted, he/she will have to carry out the necessary complementary training as established by the Academic Committee of the Doctoral Programme. To this end, the candidate will be offered complementary training in research methodology in Security and Risk and Conflict Management Analysis according to the shortcomings of their training as assessed by the Academic Committee of the Doctoral Programme.

Students are also required to have the equivalent of B2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and B2 in Spanish in the case of international PhD students.
