This is the only doctoral programme at the UDC that covers the Social and Behavioural Sciences as a whole. In contrast to others more focused on very specific aspects, this one addresses most of the fields of research in both the Social Sciences and Behaviour.
This proposal for the Doctoral Programme in Social and Behavioural Sciences is the result of a reorganisation and integration of previous offers from the University of A Coruña aimed at the training of doctors. These previous programs were assigned to different departments and areas of knowledge that obeyed a previous academic-administrative division, but they became inadequate and obsolete when what is intended is to achieve other objectives, such as a multidisciplinary training of researchers in the complex research topics that Social and Behavioral Science currently faces, an increase in the supply of lines of research, and a reduction-centralization of the administrative apparatus.
This proposal for a Doctoral Programme also establishes a framework that encourages researchers from our university to improve the quantity and quality of their production, and to strengthen collaboration networks with other universities in Spain and abroad (especially in Europe), and with non-university research institutions.
