The candidate must accredit an adequate level of training in: forest systems management (6 ECTS), research methodology (10 ECTS) and statistical methods (8 ECTS). Otherwise, it must be obtained by taking equivalent training complements in the corresponding modules of the Master in Conservation and Sustainable Use of Forest Systems.
The committee, at the proposal of the tutor, may also recommend other training complements related to the subject of the doctoral thesis that the student intends to develop. In this case, the candidate may take up to 12 ECTS from among the subjects that make up the specialisation of the master's degree in Conservation and Sustainable Use of Forest Systems.
