The Faculty of Physics offers an EHEA-adapted doctoral program in Physics, with quality award from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation. The program comprises a training period and a research period . During the training period, the student is required to complete 60 ECTS in a master's degree from the faculty's official postgraduate program (POP) in Physics POP includes eight university master's degrees that are designed to provide the students with the basis required to begin research in the different fields of physics and advanced technologies .

Students who have successfully completed 60 ECTS credits in university master's degrees from other official postgraduate programs or who hold equivalent postgraduate qualifications may also apply for admission to the doctoral program's research period. In these cases, the applications will be evaluated taking into account the suitability of the applicant's degree studies and of the academic and training profile he or she has acquired at a postgraduate level.

The research period comprises six major lines of research, which correspond to the main researh areas in the faculty:

• Astronomy and Astrophysics
  
• Meteorology
  
• Condensed Matter Physics
  
• Particle Physics and Gravitation
  
• Applied Physics and Optics
  
• Electronic Materials, Sensors and Micro- and Nanosystems
