Official Doctoral Program in New Perspectives, in Documentation, Comunication and Humanities

2025/2026

Introduction

This Doctoral Programme is organised by the University of A Coruña. The Programme is aimed at research, development and innovation (R+D+i) in three major thematic areas: Documentation Sciences, Communication Sciences and Humanities.

All this within the context of offering new perspectives, which are certainly furrowed by the successive developments in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and by the change of the production model towards models of Knowledge Economy and Sustainable Economy. In addition, the possibilities opened up by the Industrial Campus of the University of A Coruña (the Ferrol Campus), which are considered of great interest for the Doctoral Programme, and the ability to progressively incorporate new areas of knowledge present in the UDC, are very much taken into account.

III) to activate in students the necessary skills, both procedural and methodological (and, where appropriate, technical) aimed at making it possible to carry out, present and defend a Doctoral Thesis in which the obtaining of new knowledge (basic or applied) on one or more thematic areas presented is reflected.
