SELECTION AND ADMISSION TO THE PROGRAMS OF DOCTORAL STUDIES

Regulations for the admission to doctoral studies_2023-2024

The admission procedure for the programs of doctoral studies constitutes the process of selecting the candidates for each vacant position of doctoral student which the doctoral tutors within the doctoral school decide to propose at a certain point.
The CSUD elaborates admission methodologies early, cu at least six months before admission date. They are approved by the UAIC Senate.
The admission to the program of doctoral studies is by early contest, organized for each vacant position proposed by the doctoral tutor. The contest examinations take place before an admission commission proposed by the CSD and approved by the CSUD.
The examinations take place according to the admission methodology determined by the General assembly of the doctoral tutors and proved by the CSD. The themes and bibliography for the tests are proposed by the doctoral tutors with vacant positions, after obtaining the approval the doctoral school council. The grades of the bachelor’s degree or of the master degree may be taken into account, but not the means or the grades of the study years. The minimal admission grade is 8 (eight).
The admission contest for the doctoral studies will take place as follows:

The examinations will be both written and oral.
The themes and bibliography for the tests are proposed by the doctoral tutors with vacant positions, after obtaining the approval the doctoral school council.
The written examination will contain subjects regarding the themes and bibliography proposed by each doctoral tutor. The written examination will be assessed by each doctoral tutor.
The oral examination consists of an interview based on the themes and bibliography proposed by the doctoral tutor. The examination commission will include six members: the Manager of the Doctoral School within the Faculty of History, three doctoral tutors within the Faculty of History, the doctoral tutor of the doctoral student in question and a secretary. The oral examination grade represents the arithmetic mean of the grades proposed by the doctoral tutor and by the other members of the commission, except for the secretary.
The final grade of the candidate is constituted by the arithmetic mean between the written and the oral examination. The minimal admission grade is 8 (eight).
The tiebreak between the candidates occurs by descending order of the final grades, depending on the places available for the doctoral tutor in question. If there are candidates with identical grades, the grade of the oral examination will serve as a tiebreaker.
The tiebreak between the candidates will also determine the number of doctoral for the Faculty of History.

6.The admission methodology stipulates the registration conditions, the content of the registration dossier and the phases of the contest.

7.The candidates admitted based on the admission results are enrolled by a Decision of the UAIC Rector.
