Academic requirements: Holding a degree obtained under a foreign education system, without the need for official recognition, provided that the university verifies that the degree certifies a level of training equivalent to that of an official Spanish Master’s degree and qualifies the holder for doctoral studies in the country where it was issued.

The programme aimed at graduates in:
- Veterinary medicinePharmacy
- Biology or Biochemistry

Depending on the student’s previous education, the admission process may require the completion of a specific training supplement to ensure the acquisition of the necessary research methodology skills in Veterinary Health to successfully undertake the Doctoral Program.
The additional training required for candidates whose prior education does not allow for direct and automatic admission to this Doctoral Program will consist of completing the course Research Methodology in Experimental Sciences (6 credits). Each applicant will be informed, in the response to their admission request, of the requirement to complete this course, and their final admission to the Doctoral Program in Veterinary Health will be contingent upon successfully passing it.
