National / International Stay
Research stay at an institution other than UCAM (university, research centre, or company), which may be national or foreign, and is different from the student's place of work. Doctoral students may engage in this activity as soon as they are admitted to the programme. The duration of the stay must be at least 3 months (480 hours) over 3 years for full-time students or 5 years for part-time students. The doctoral student, together with his/her supervisor, will assess the suitability of this type of stay. To this end, they will study the possible centres where such a stay could take place, either to broaden the doctoral student's training or to carry out a transfer of knowledge. Before deciding to take part in this activity, the PhD student must have the approval of his/her supervisor and the letter of acceptance from the host institution.
Person Responsible or teaching and and Assessment
Mobility stay at a national or foreign university, research centre or company.
After the completion of the stay, the PhD student must upload (i) a report of the activities carried out at the host centre, together with (ii) a certificate of the stay issued by the host centre (minimum 3 months) to the corresponding activity on LAUREA ACADEMIC. In the report (maximum five pages) the student must describe the activities carried out and the results obtained according to the following format in detail: - Brief introduction, description of the materials and methods used and specific objectives of the work carried out. - Research results obtained. Scientific output, if any, should also be indicated. - Bibliography (according to the Vancouver style) used for the report. Evaluation report: the tutor will be in charge of validating whether or not the activity has been passed on LAUREA ACADEMIC.
Stays previously carried out at a NATIONAL or FOREIGN centre may be presented, as long as the subject of the stay is related to the subject of the thesis project and has a duration equal to or longer than the one indicated in the activity. To do so, you must upload the evidence described above on LAUREA ACADEMIC and the tutor will evaluate and validate it if necessary.
