The Doctoral Program in Humanities: Language and Culture of the Rey Juan Carlos University takes into account the new bases of the Revised Agenda of Lisbon, as well as the construction of the European Research Area (ERA) and the objectives set for it in the Green Paper 2007. We have understood that the Doctorate must play a fundamental role as an intersection between the EHEA and the ERA, fundamental pillars of the knowledge society. The research that is promoted from this program breaks with theoretical, independent and localist positions, outside the development of society, to promote knowledge applicable to the cultural and even economic development of a society based on knowledge.

Hence our commitment that research in the Humanities be integrated naturally and relevantly with the rest of the areas of higher university education, giving value to mobility, both in the doctoral and postdoctoral stages, since it is understood as an essential piece in training. of young researchers. One of our challenges within the EEI is to prepare doctors who are integrated as main actors of society in the generation, transfer and adaptation of R&D&i and its application in pursuit of social, economic and academic improvements in their environment, and that they play an essential role in all the institutions involved in innovation and research, so that they lead the transfer from knowledge to the welfare of society in all its areas. Along these lines, one of the aims of this doctoral program is to foster R&D&i linked to innovation in knowledge management and its application in society.

The need for doctoral training for graduates in degrees related to the Humanities must be defended both in the academic and professional spheres, where the need to continue researching and advancing in knowledge, techniques and methods is confirmed, and this doctoral training supposes the main way of training researchers.

The Rey Juan Carlos University proposes the Doctoral Program in Humanities 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 Humanities and, on the other, to advance, through of 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 the Humanities.

Within the Doctoral Program in Humanities, 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 teacher training in related disciplines.
Specialize postgraduate students interested in their professional, scientific and technical development and training throughout their professional life.
Promote the creation of national and international research groups and networks, as well as the search for and consolidation of interdisciplinary research groups.

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 Doctoral Program at the Rey Juan Carlos University aims to train new doctors endowed with a critical scientific spirit and capacity for research and teamwork, through teaching organized in two areas: one general –technical and research methods, tools and resources for it–; and another specialization, typical of the different lines of specialization and consolidated research topics that are developed in it.
