DOCTORAL PROGRAM IN PSYCHOLOGY
The Doctoral Program in Psychology offers training in line with the highest international standards, with a clear a focus on the development of autonomous and innovative research in Psychology, but also preparing for intervention with an emphasis on psycho-social processes involved in responses to public policies.
The Program attracts national and international students with diverse backgrounds, who are encouraged from early on to integrate national and international networks, and to disseminate their research in peer reviewed publications and presentations in scientific conferences and to society, activities largely supported with internal funds.
Designed to empower aspiring researchers with the autonomy to innovate and excel in their exploration of the human mind, this Program also wants to foster a vibrant community of scholars dedicated to making meaningful contributions to society by tackling relevant social problems through cutting-edge research and inclusive collaboration.

The program is taught in English and has a duration of four years (full or part-time). It provides diversified learning opportunities both through a curricular component of conceptual and methodological consolidation and academic skills training and through a set of complementary training activities, regular monitoring and discussion of the work in progress.
In addition to the close monitoring by the supervisory team and regular discussion of work in progress with peers and researchers internal and external to the institution, students also benefit from constructive feedback from an independent scientific consultant who regularly monitors their research progress.
