Do not fill this in! === Colombia === ==== Admission ==== In [[Colombia]], the PhD course admission may require a master's degree (Magíster) in some universities, specially public universities. However, it could also be applied for a direct doctorate in specific cases, according to the jury's recommendations on the thesis proposal. ==== Funding ==== Most of postgraduate students in Colombia must finance their tuition fees by means of teaching assistant seats or research works. Some institutions such as [[Colciencias]], Colfuturo, CeiBA, and Icetex grant scholarships or provide awards in the form of forgivable loans.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Colciencias Call for Scholarships in Colombia |url=http://www.colciencias.gov.co/newconvocatorias2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217025345/http://www.colciencias.gov.co/newconvocatorias2014 |archive-date=17 December 2014 |access-date=2015-03-04}}</ref> ==== Requirements for completion ==== After two or two and a half years, it is expected that the research work of the doctoral candidate be submitted in the form of oral qualification, where suggestions and corrections about the research hypothesis and methodology, as well as on the course of the research work, are performed. The PhD degree is only received after a successful defense of the candidate's thesis is performed (four or five years after the enrollment), most of the time also requiring the most important results having been published in at least one peer-reviewed high-impact international journal.
