This programme integrates most of the researchers of the Doctoral Programmes dependent on the Department of Psychology (UdC) and the Departments of Developmental Psychology and Education of the UdC and the USC, being essential to meet the demands for research training of postgraduate students who study the master's degrees with preferential access in which the teaching staff of this DP and other DPs participate. students from the state or foreigners with interests in the lines of research offered and specified in each of the research teams that make it up. The PDDPAS is structured around 6 lines of research that limit the specific areas of training and in alignment mainly with CHALLENGE 3 'Healthy lifestyle model and active ageing of the population' specified in the Smart Specialisation Strategy-RIS3 2021-2027: 1) Psychological ageing and dementia; 2) School learning, performance and psychological well-being; 3) Learning difficulties and specific educational needs; 4) Development of oral and written language and their alterations; 5) Psychosocial development, adjustment and academic progress in transitional evolutionary periods; and 6) Health Psychology. Thus, from a scientific point of view, the Doctoral Programme aims to train researchers, prioritising interdisciplinarity by including researchers from different areas of knowledge, framed in the fields of specialisation of Psychology and Education Sciences, as reflected in the name of the degree and as included in the lines of research included.

Additional subject teaching
Candidates who do not meet all the necessary prior learning conditions for the programme may be required to complete additional courses in the form of subjects and modules from UDC Master’s and undergraduate programmes. The number of credits from additional subject teaching will not exceed 15 ECTS credits, which students may choose to complete before or after enrolment in the PhD programme.
Students who do not opt to complete additional coursework prior to enrolment should register for their extra subjects or modules at the same time as the PhD. Failure to complete additional coursework within a period of three consecutive terms will result in the termination of the student’s registration.

Supervision agreement
The PhD supervision agreement defines the academic relationship between the candidate and the University, the rights and responsibilities of each (including any intellectual and/or industrial property rights resulting from the candidate’s research), the procedures in place in relation to conflict resolution, and the duration of the agreement. It also specifies the duties of the PhD tutor and supervisor.
The supervision agreement must be signed by the candidate, tutor and designated university representative (or representatives) within a maximum period of one month as from the date of registration. The supervisor’s signature may be added subsequently, once a supervisor has been appointed.
When the document has been signed by all the relevant parties, the agreement is then added to the candidate’s record of activities.
See also UDC PhD Policies and Regulations, Article 13: Supervision agreement.
Research plan
The candidate must prepare a research plan within six months of registration, with information regarding methodology, objectives, resources and milestones. The research plan is submitted together with the report of the supervisor and/or tutor for approval by the Academic Committee for PhD Programmes (CAPD). Improvements to the plan may be introduced with the approval of the supervisor and/or tutor based on the annual review of the student’s research progress.
Research plans are subject to annual review by the CAPD, including the report(s) of the supervisor and/or tutor and the candidate’s record of activities. Students will be permitted to continue with their studies if the outcome of the review is satisfactory. If the outcome is negative, the student will be required to submit a new plan within a period of six months. If the committee is still not satisfied, the candidate will be removed from the programme.

Student mobility
UDC holds student mobility agreements with universities and other third-level institutions across four continents. Students are offered several opportunities each year to apply to study abroad in one of these centres (for a single term or for a whole year), with the guarantee that all credits obtained will be duly recognised in their academic record upon their return.
For each round of applications, the University publishes the list of exchange options available to students and, where relevant, the specific conditions associated with each. Students may also apply to the University for funding for international work experience placements and internships.
Work experience placements are accredited in the student's academic record and the European diploma supplement. Students are free to decide in which host company or academic institution within the EHEA they wish to carry out their placement. To assist them in their search, the University has created an online noticeboard with jobs postings and other news.
Work-study placements in A Coruña are arranged by the International Relations Office (ORI) of the UDC in collaboration with the international relations coordinators in the student’s home university. The general entry criteria, rights and obligations of students, and admission and acceptance procedures for the programme, are regulated by the UDC Mobility Policy.
