If you are participating in a grants competition you may need to demonstrate that you have been admitted to a URV programme. If the competition finishes before the admissions dates specified on the URV timetable, the URV can provide you with a letter stating that you have been provisionally admitted pending your successful completion of the access procedures within the specified dates. Write to us at phd(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat giving your name, the competition to which you are applying and the document that you require.

I have a DEA or my research aptitude has been recognised. Can I continue with my doctorate?
