| General objectives of the program |
The "Genetics" PhD Programme aims to train professionals with a solid and leading base in the most current areas of developmental biology and genetics, evolutionary genetics and genomics, human genetics and genetics applied to biotechnology. These fields are scientifically highly topical and students receive comprehensive training in them. In addition, they learn the necessary complements of genomics, bioinformatics and other basic tools to carry out advanced genetic analysis studies.
In order to achieve the proposed objectives, the multidisciplinary theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for working in specific areas of specialised research in universities and research centres, in the practice of emerging and expanding professions, and in research work in private companies is taught. |

| Specific requirements and criteria for admission to the doctoral program and applicant merit rating |
The Academic Committee will select students on the basis of the following scoring system:
1. Qualification used for admission (0-2 points), assessed as follows:
a) Admission from one of the following UB master's degrees (2 points): Genetics and Genomics, Biomedicine, Biodiversity, Neurosciences, Molecular Biotechnology.
b) Master's degrees in related disciplines, depending on the specific content and its compatibility with the research areas covered by the doctoral programme (0-2 points).
2. Academic record for the bachelor's degree or pre-EHEA degree used for admission (maximum 4 points, depending on the grade point average). The grade point average will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 4 divided by 2, or 0 to 10 divided by 5. Correction factors will be applied to qualifications issued outside Spain, as provided for in the regulations of the ANECA programme.
3. Academic record for the master's degree (maximum 4 points, depending on the grade point average). The grade point average will be assessed on a scale of 0 to 4 divided by 2, or 0 to 10 divided by 5. Correction factors will be applied to qualifications issued outside Spain, as provided for in the regulations of the ANECA programme.
4. Statement of interest, research proposal or letters of recommendation (maximum 2 points).
5. Curriculum vitae (maximum 4 points), the following aspects will be evaluated:
a) Research experience in any of the areas covered by the theoretical and practical content of the doctoral programme (maximum 1 point).
b) Professional experience in any of the areas covered by the theoretical and practical content of the doctoral programme (maximum 1 point).
c) Publication record, attendance of conferences, and other activities related to the doctoral programme, such as participation in excavations, artistic activities, culture and heritage management, field work, etc. (maximum 1 point).
d) Master's degree grants awarded in competitive calls, excluding mobility or general grants (maximum 1 point).
6. Previous award of a grant for doctoral study (3 points) or grant application pending resolution at the time of application (1 point).
The Academic Committee for the doctoral programme in Genetics will ensure that candidates have the recommended applicant profile. The composition of this Academic Committee will be determined by the relevant provisions in the University of Barcelona's doctoral regulations (specifically, Title II, Section 2 on "Academic Committees for doctoral programmes").
The Committee will assess each candidate's general motivation, level of previous training in genetics (various official bachelor's and master's degrees provide the requisite knowledge), and laboratory training. The Committee will also determine whether the candidate's bachelor's and master's degree studies provide the requisite preparation for admission to the doctoral programme. Applications from international students will be examined in detail by the Academic Committee, particularly for those candidates whose qualifications were issued outside the EHEA framework. In these cases, the Committee will consider the subjects completed by the candidate and their total duration (in hours or ECTS credits, or equivalent). The Academic Committee will maintain regular contact with the thesis supervisor and tutor to monitor the progress of international students.
This last paragraph discusses students with disabilities. The Inter-university Council ofCatalonia's Committee on Access and Student Affairs has an agreement on the adaptation of syllabuses for students with disabilities, to ensure equal opportunities. Pursuant to this agreement, universities can adapt their syllabuses to the requirements of students with disabilities who meet the established criteria. In such cases, a specific support protocol is implemented. The main instrument of this protocol is the Individual Action Plan (IAP), which determines actions for academic and educational support, mobility and infoaccessibility. The IAP assigns responsibilities for the various actions and establishes a general timeline for their implementation. The support protocol is divided into four stages: 1) registration for the service; 2) creation of an Individual Action Plan (IAP); 3) implementation of the IAP; and 4) monitoring and evaluation of the IAP. |

| Salidas profesionales |
| Students receive a solid training in recent research methods and the current state of knowledge in genetics and genomics, enabling them to join the most prestigious research institutions in the different specialities of genetics (universities or research centres). It also enables them to find employment in highly specialised areas of applied research such as diagnosis, therapy, pharmacy or personalised nutrition, the production of compounds (drugs or nutrients), forensic genetics or the conservation of species. Graduates are qualified for specialised or secondary school teaching and also for scientific dissemination or journalism. |
