The Doctoral Program in Philosophy provides the deepening of scientific and methodological competences oriented to the production and transmission of philosophical knowledge, the acquisition and improvement of the research capacity, the preparation for a highly qualified professional performance, the complement or the accomplishment of an academic and formative path with an innovative, reflexive and critical nature. The Doctoral Program in Philosophy combines multiple dimensions throughout its three-year length: 1) education by qualified teachers; 2) student integration in the Philosophy Institute, an FCT financed research unit classified with Very Good (2015); 3) a demanding and stimulating environment for a depth study; 4) autonomy and initial means for the preparation and completion of research projects; 5) education opportunity in knowledge transmission; 6) international mobility and contacts possibility; 7) activities integrating students from former academic years; 8) support in the scholarship application process.
  • The Program is organized by the European transfer and accumulative credit system ECTS (60 ETCS per year; 180 ECTS in whole). The first year constitutes the “PhD course”, during which the student will attend two seminars (60 credits) each semester. In the two consecutive years (can be 4, at most), the student will perform research (equivalent to 120 credits) and the PhD thesis, integrating research and related activities under the guidance of one or more teachers. In partial time attending, these deadlines double.
  • Certificates and diplomas: For the completion of the academic part (course = 1st year: 60 ECTS), a depth studies diploma is attributed. The PhD degree in Philosophy is obtained after a presentation, defense and approval of a PhD thesis.
  • This Program is recognized for career progression effects in group 410/Philosophy, by order of the Secretary of State of Education, June 12th 2009, under Art. 54 of the Teacher Career Statute in Basic and secondary education (DL 15/2007, January 19th), regulated by Ordinance no. 334/2008, April 30th.

The Doctoral Program provides full support in grants applications.
