The need for doctoral training for graduates in degrees related to Social and Legal Sciences is defended both in the academic and professional fields, where the need to continue researching and advancing in knowledge, techniques and methods is confirmed, and this doctoral training is the main way of training researchers.
The Rey Juan Carlos University proposes the Doctoral Program in Social and Legal Sciences, to provide and offer doctoral training that contributes, on the one hand, to promoting the training of people with competence in research and innovation in Social and Legal Sciences, and on the other another, to advance, through research, in response to the needs of society within the framework of an integrating program, whose structure and organization allow both specialization, updating and diversification of training, research and transfer in the field of Social and Legal Sciences.
Within the Doctorate Program in Social and Legal Sciences, the different lines of research will be developed, in accordance with the requirements established in the current legislation and in the regulations of the URJC, contrasting the experience and research proficiency, and the existence of competitive projects. . The line to which the doctoral student will be assigned will be determined by the access requirements and the subject of the thesis project. Each line of research, in turn, will define, without exclusion, the main topics for the development of the doctoral theses, based on the existing groups and the research experience of the assigned tutors and directors.
The Rey Juan Carlos University proposes with this Doctorate Program:
- Train new researchers and prepare teams that contribute to social, scientific and economic progress.
- Promote the training of new teachers in related disciplines.
- Specialize postgraduates who are interested in their adequate professional, scientific and technical development.
- Promote the creation of research groups and networks, nationally and internationally, and interdisciplinarity.
Objectives
The general objectives of the Doctoral Program of the Rey Juan Carlos University will be, at least the following:
- Encourage and deepen knowledge and professional, scientific and technical development of doctoral students in the field in question.
- Train new researchers capable of joining research teams.
- Promote the teaching career, deepening the research training of future teachers.
- The specialization of the student within the corresponding field, especially in its research aspect.
- Provide methodological instruments from which to approach the analysis of theory and practice from an interdisciplinary perspective, and provide basic criteria from which to face practical questions, in the different areas in which they arise.
- Have an adequate framework for the achievement and transmission of scientific advances.
- Train doctoral students so that they can play an essential role in public or private institutions involved in innovation and research, so that they can lead the transfer from knowledge to the welfare of society.
In short, this Doctorate 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 in two areas: one general (techniques and research methods, tools and resources for the same) and another of specialization, typical of the different lines of consolidated specialization that are developed in it.
