It is mandatory that applicants identify the target study area and the research line of the program, and then specify two choices of his or her subject area within the same research line.

Prior consultation with potential supervisors

  • We strongly recommend that applicants contact potential supervisors for each line of research they are interested in beforehand. This prior consultation is crucial to ensure that the applicant's research interests are aligned to the advisor’s availability.
  • The program coordination is not responsible for applications in lines of research with no available slots if the applicant has not previously consulted the availability with the potential advisor. Without this verification, the applicant might register for the admission process without knowing about the lack of slots, thus jeopardizing their chances of admission.

We stress the importance of proactive communication with potential advisors to ensure the best match between the applicant's interests and the advisory opportunities offered by the program.
