This PhD programme does not establish specific training complements. However, given that this programme is open to graduates from different university master's degrees (with an academic-research or professional orientation) whose syllabuses do not include sufficient specific research training in the field of English Language and Literature, the programme's Academic Committee will decide for each student admitted, depending on their admission profile and previous training, whether or not they need to undertake specific research training. Specifically, students coming from non-research master's degrees, such as the Master's Degree in Compulsory Secondary Education and Baccalaureate, Vocational Training and Language Teaching, or from another professionalising master's degree, may be required to take, at the discretion of the Academic Committee, some additional training in subjects from the Master's Degree in Advanced English Studies: Languages and Cultures in Contact, not exceeding a maximum of 12 credits.
