Field of Computer Science

The admission process consists of:

• An oral presentation (maximum duration: 30 minutes) of the research project, aligned with the topic selected by the candidate from the list proposed by the PhD supervisors in the Informatics field;
• A Q&A session during which the candidate will answer questions regarding their professional background, previous results, and specific aspects related to the selected research topic.

For each proposed topic, an evaluation committee will be formed, composed of The PhD supervisor who proposed the topic and two additional members, PhD supervisors in the field of Informatics, preferably with expertise relevant to the selected topic.

The evaluation will be conducted by the committee assigned to each selected topic. Each committee member will assign two separate scores (integers from 1 to 10):

1. A score for the candidate’s previous academic and professional activity, based on the submitted documents and answers provided regarding their professional development and previous achievements;
2. A score for the quality of the research project, based on the submitted research proposal, the oral presentation, and the candidate’s responses regarding the research topic.

The final admission grade will be calculated as the arithmetic mean (to two decimal places, without rounding) of all the scores given by the evaluation committee members. The minimum passing grade for admission is 7.00.
