Introduction
The need for doctoral training of graduates in degrees related to Computer Engineering and Telecommunications is defended both in the academic and professional fields, where the need to continue researching and advancing in knowledge, techniques, and methods, and This doctoral training is the main way of training researchers.
The existence of a Doctoral Program in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is relevant above all to respond to the needs of an information society that is advancing unstoppably on a global scale. Accordingly, the ICT Doctoral Program is convinced that specialization, updating, and diversification of training are encouraged, disseminated, and transferred to the rest of society.
Goals:
The general objectives of this Doctoral Program of the Rey Juan Carlos University are the following, all of them in the field of ICT:
- Specialize postgraduates who are interested in their adequate professional, scientific, and technical development, and encourage their integration into research teams.
- Train doctoral students so that they can play an essential role in public or private R+D+i institutions so that they can lead the transfer of knowledge from the university to society.
- Have an adequate framework for the achievement and transmission of scientific advances by doctoral students and researchers.
- Promote the research training of new professors through the co-direction of doctoral theses.
- Consolidate existing research groups and encourage their integration into national and international, mono- and interdisciplinary research networks.
In short, this Doctoral Program at the Rey Juan Carlos University aims to train doctors endowed with a critical scientific spirit, capacity for research, and teamwork, through teaching organized into two areas, one general (technical and research methods, tools, and resources for the same) and another field of specialization typical of the different lines of specialization and research topics in ICT that are developed in it.
