Once accepted, applicants must enroll, for no more than three years, as full-time students in the Doctoral programs of the University of Chile and the University of Nottingham, with the aim of obtaining the degree of “Doctor in Electrical Engineering”, delivered by both institutions.

One of the main objectives is for students to carry out frontier research at both universities, with a minimum of one year permanence in each of them. For this purpose, the students will be assigned a doctoral project which will be jointly supervised by academics from both universities.

To join this double degree doctoral program, applicants must pass the qualification exam from the University of Nottingham or the University of Chile, in addition to submitting to the review and approval of the applicant’s background by the postgraduate committee or equivalent at the partner university. Additionally, to comply with the immigration requirements of the United Kingdom, the students of the University of Chile must prove proficiency in the English language before traveling to England.
