Program description

General purpose

To train high level researchers that contribute to the generation of basic and applied knowledge in the different areas of humanistic disciplines, promoting the convergence and interaction of the humanities with other sciences and disciplines.

Specific objectives

To provide students with theoretical and methodological foundations that allow them to generate original knowledge in some of the areas of the humanities. As well as developing research in convergence with other disciplines and sciences where experiences are shared and projects are developed that emphasize the possible intersections. Therefore, this program proposes not only the development of projects in the Humanities areas but also projects whose ultimate goal is the interest in the human being and everything that promotes their well-being: in the social, educational, culturally, etc.

The Doctorate in Humanities maintains an eminently investigative orientation. The curriculum is strengthened through a tutorial system of supervision and monitoring of students' work, emphasizing the development of an original research project under specific research lines. Each student will be advised, supervised and evaluated by a Tuition Committee, which will be integrated by the main tutor and four researchers who will act as co-advisors throughout the thesis research process.
