The IIIA belongs to the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), which is not a higher-educational institution. As such, we do not grant PhD degrees. Our doctoral students get their degree by enrolling in a PhD programme of some university, but they get hosted at IIIA and supervised by our researchers. Concerning which university to choose, we are relatively neutral regarding the PhD programme our students decide to register to, provided the university allows that the supervision and research is carried out at IIIA. Most of our students have obtained their PhD degree form the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), since our institute is located on UAB's main campus and our staff is listed as academic tutors and PhD supervisors of its PhD programme in Computer Science.
For questions about our PhD studies or the application process, please get in touch with:
Marco SchorlemmerIn addition to the topics below, please feel free to check the research areas we are active in.
Remember that you can always register with the prospective students database to be considered for both current and future open positions.
