Doctoral Degrees
The regulation of official doctoral studies incorporates the recommendations arising from the various European and international forums that have dealt with doctoral training. These recommendations refer to the structure and organisation of the doctorate, the skills to be acquired by doctoral students, the conditions of access and the development of the research career in its initial stage, the fundamental role of supervision and tutoring of research training, the insertion of this training in a research environment that encourages communication and creativity, internationalisation and mobility.
The universities must send the proposals for doctoral programmes for verification to the Council of Universities. In order to be able to issue a verification report, the Council of Universities requests ANECA, or the evaluation bodies determined by the Law of the Autonomous Communities, to issue an evaluation report on these proposals.
The assessment for verification will mainly take into account those aspects that guarantee the solvency of the research teams participating in the programme and the adequate development of the training of doctoral students. This evaluation should serve to guarantee that the doctoral programme has a critical mass with sufficient human and material resources to produce, within the foreseen time, a reasonable number of doctoral theses with an impact and quality appropriate to their scientific context, and to ensure that the employability of the PhD graduates is in line with their training.

Support documents
The following are the reference documents for the elaboration and evaluation of doctoral curricula:
- Evaluation protocol for the verification and modification of official doctoral programmes. Document drawn up within the Spanish Network of University Quality Assurance Agencies (REACU) that aims to focus on the analysis and assessment of the most relevant issues that guarantee a priori the minimum starting conditions that all doctoral programme proposals must provide.
- Verifica doctoral: Support Guide. This guide has been prepared with the aim of guiding the universities in the preparation of the Report for the application for the verification of official doctoral studies.
- Verifica doctoral: evaluation template. ANECA includes in this document the evaluation template to be used by the evaluation commissions during the evaluation process for the verification of official doctoral studies.
- Modifica doctoral: guidelines for applying for modifications to doctoral programmes: A new document has been prepared to assist and guide universities in the preparation of applications for the modification of doctoral programmes that have already been verified.
- Annex II. Descriptive form of modifications, for the assessment, by ANECA, of the nature of the modifications, prior to their processing.
- Annex III. Application form for non-substantial modifications.
Tools for evaluation
- Evaluation computer application: https://srv.aneca.es/verifica/cargarLogin.do
- Computer application for the submission of applications for official qualifications: The Ministry of Education has enabled the University Degree Officialization Application to be used through the electronic headquarters of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport for the submission of applications for the verification of official degrees and for the processing of modifications of verified degrees according to RD1393/2007.
Evaluation reports
The purpose of ANECA is to promote and assure the quality of the Higher Education System in Spain. In order to fulfil this task assigned to the Agency, the official degree evaluation report search engine has been created in the field of official degree evaluation. Through this search engine, ANECA provides all stakeholders, and especially students, with all the information about the official bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees on which ANECA has carried out evaluation reports.

Assessment by commissions
To ensure the rigour of the evaluation process at all stages, there are two types of committee: evaluation committees and reporting committees.
ANECA has established a procedure for queries by email:
