Enrolment in the second and subsequent years

How do I continue after the first year? The enrolment process must be completed each year.

From the administrative procedures to the required documentation, here you can find the information you need to enrol in the subsequent academic years of your doctoral programme.

Any doubts or queries about the enrolment process should be addressed to the Secretary's Office for Students and Teaching Staff at your faculty.

In order to enrol from the second year onwards, you must meet the following academic conditions:

  • Have received approval of your research plan, if you are enrolling for the second year.
  • Have received a positive evaluation report and annual progress review for the research plan corresponding to the previous academic year, from the third year onwards.
