Due to the variety of possible profiles to Access the Programme, an eventual undertaking of complementary training, specific for each student, is considered. These activities are intended to complement previous training and will strictly concentrate on those aspects considered essential for the concrete research line to develop his/her Doctoral Thesis.

Experience acquired along the development of previous Doctoral Programmes leads us to affirm that an adequate allocation of complementary training activities requires a specific consideration of the previous training and academic records of each student. Nevertheless, in general and in consistency with the already defined profiles (see Administrative procedure), the following considerations are established:

• Students matching Profile 1 will not require undertaking complementary training activities.
  
  
• Students matching Profiles 2 or 3, and depending on their training, academic record, professional experience (if any) and research line they apply for, applicable complementary training activities will be any of those shown in the table below, containing a subset of theoretical-practical subjects and laboratory practices offered in the UPM Master Degree in Photovoltaic Solar Energy:
