Duration of doctoral studies
The duration of doctoral studies, from the date of first enrollment until the deposit of the doctoral thesis is:
- Up to four years if the dedication is full-time, extendable to a fifth year.
- Up to seven years if the dedication is part-time, extendable for another year.
- When the doctoral candidate is a person with a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33 percent, the duration of the doctoral studies will be a maximum of six years full-time and nine years part-time, in both cases with a possible extension of one additional year.
- It will be taken into account any possible temporary leaves.
Each academic year PhD students must enroll in the new academic year, which will be evaluated at the end of the academic year in ordinary period (1st call). Those who have a negative evaluation, or are not evaluated (blank), will be able to retake the evaluation in extraordinary call (2nd call).
Deregistration from the doctoral program due to non-compliance with the permanence requirements.
The Procedures that regulate the monitoring of UAM doctoral students indicate that a doctoral program will be terminated as a result of:
- Failure to renew the annual registration
- Obtaining two consecutive negative evaluations the same academic year.
- Failure to initiate the deposit process before the maximum date for completion of the thesis.
In anticipation that these situations may have been the result of exceptional circumstances that have prevented compliance with the academic-administrative obligations (renewal of registration or submission of the annual report), the opening of a period of application for permanence is contemplated.
