The 3rd cycle (PhD) in Communication and Information Sciences is taught by teachers from the Department of Communication and Information Sciences, who are mostly researchers from CITCEM (Center for Transdisciplinary Research “Culture, Space and Memory”), a R&D unit funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology.
This cycle of studies aims to enable graduates or masters to deepen their knowledge at an advanced postgraduate level, as well as to develop autonomous research skills, combining an integrated approach to Communication and Information Sciences. This integrated perspective is conveyed through a mandatory course in the 1st semester of the 1st year, which is complemented with 3 more optional courses, which can be more directed towards Information Science or Communication Sciences issues, or transversal to these two subareas.
It seeks to respond to the diverse interests of students, both those who want to develop research around more traditional issues and contexts, and those who wish to address topics with a strong digital component.
It is also a strategic instrument in articulation with the CITCEM Information, Communication and Digital Culture Research Group.
This doctoral program aims to develop skills:
