-department of Chemistry and Edaphology
-department for History, History of Art and Geography
-department of Environmental Engineering, CEIT (Campus de San Sebastián)
The doctoral program at Biology and Environment includes among its activities of teaching and research the partnership with Universities and Centres of research from other countries. These activities allow the Departments participants in the Programme to improve their research and professor activities, to extend their collaborations with other groups at research and teaching, and for the doctoral students who participate, to develop European Doctorates, thesis Doctoral degrees on a co-supervision basis and to add other academic merits (teaching and/or research) to their curriculum vitae.
All the Departments members of the proposed programme work on international projects with other prestigious researchers and entities, or are in contact with them. There are agreements of partnership and relations with other universities and centres of research (national and foreign), which favour the mobility of the students of the programme and the internationalization of the same, which ensures a knowledge of the international context researcher and training.
