The EIDEMAR International School of Doctorate in Marine Studies commenced its journey in the academic year 2013-2014, and presently comprises 4 Doctoral Programs:

• 

  Maritime Sciences and Technologies

  Doctoral Program in Maritime Sciences and Technologies at the University of Cádiz

• 

  Management and Conservation of the Sea

  Doctoral Program in Management and Conservation of the Sea at the University of Cádiz

• 

  Maritime History and Archeology

  Doctoral Program in Maritime History and Archaeology at the University of Cádiz

• 

  Marine Resources

  Doctoral Program in Maritime History and Archaeology at the University of Cádiz

• The standard duration of the doctoral program is 3 academic years, with the option of extending it to 5 years for part-time students (temporary withdrawal and extensions are also possible, as outlined in Article 14 of the Regulations).
• The program consists of a series of training and research activities, each requiring a minimum number of working hours. To successfully complete these activities, students must accumulate a minimum of 600 working hours before defending their doctoral thesis.
• When applying for admission, students specify their preferred research line(s) from those offered within the Doctoral Program. The Academic Commission of the Doctoral Program is responsible for assigning the research line and appointing a tutor. The tutor is responsible for aligning the student’s training and research activities with the program’s principles and, if applicable, those of the doctoral schools. The specific activities undertaken by the student are determined in consultation with the tutor, and their progress is tracked using an individualized record known as the Doctoral Student Activity Document (DAD).
• Within the first six months, the academic commission of the doctoral program appoints a doctoral thesis director for the student. It is also possible to request the appointment of a co-director for academic reasons. Before the end of the first year, the doctoral student must prepare a Research Plan (replacing the previous Doctoral Thesis Project). The content of this plan can be further refined and detailed during the course of the studies.
• Annually, the academic commission of the program assesses the Research Plan and the Document of Activities of each doctoral student, along with the reports provided by the tutor and the director for this purpose.
• The doctorate program concludes with the submission of the Doctoral Thesis, an original research work prepared by the candidate in connection with the scientific, technical, or artistic domain of the doctoral program. The thesis is designed to equip the doctoral student with the skills necessary for independent and professional work in the realm of Research, Development, and Innovation (R+D+I).
