Presentación - Psicología

This programme provides advanced training for research in the different areas of knowledge of Psychology, preparing the different types of doctors required by our society (basic and applied to research-action) in the different areas of Psychology. All the active and productive lines of research at the UPV/EHU Faculty of Psychology are represented on this programme, which offers the doctoral candidates the chance to opt for a research specialisation that is more in keeping with their objectives in a specific area of work.

The goal is to prepare researchers who can devise, develop and complete an original, innovative research project that has repercussions both on a basic level and applied to the field of Psychology. This research will be carried out in one of the programme's research teams, and it will entail the preparation of a doctoral thesis with the quality publications that arise from said thesis.
