The PhD Program contemplates the completion of specific training supplements, which will be determined in each case by the corresponding committee, based on the degree and master's studies taken. The profiles of the students required to study them, based on their previous training, would be those who do not meet the conditions of the Recommended Applicant’s Profile (PIR). Students responding to the PIR who have a bachelor's degree in psychology from a Spanish or foreign university, and who have completed the master's degree with direct access to the PhD Program (the Master's in Functional Analysis in Clinical and Health Contexts) would be exempt from having to take the specific training supplements.

Students admitted to these doctoral studies who do not come from the degree courses indicated above are required to take the training supplements, as determined in each case by the degree’s Academic Committee. These training supplements should preferably be completed in the first year of study and, in any event, before the end of studies.
