Our doctorate in History programme falls within one of the most innovative lines of historiographic advance of the last twenty years, World History or Global History, which can be classed as the most recent attempt by our discipline to understand and interpret the sudden changes and major challenges facing present-day society. This new area of specialisation has led, in recent years, to the appearance of doctorate and master's programmes at leading American universities (University of Minnesota, 1994; University of Hawaii, 1995; Johns Hopkins University, 1995; University of California at Santa Cruz, 1995; New York State University, 1996; University of California at Riverside, 1997; Northeastern University, 1997; Washington University, 1998; University of Arizona, 1998; etc.), extending to universities throughout the world from the beginning of the 21st century.
Since its first year of existence, this programme has been awarded the Mention of Quality by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, an acknowledgement which has recently been replaced by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, since the Resolution of 2009
Objectives To round off the training of students who have done an official master's degree in History as historians, developing their capacities and abilities in the field of research by writing a doctoral thesis.
Contents
Contents The doctoral studies are organised in two stages.
During the first, which includes the first academic year, students must do 5 ECTS credits, to be chosen from the range of courses and seminars organised by the UPF's Jaume Vicens Vives University Institute of History, and defend their doctoral thesis project before a panel of experts -who shall assess the viability of the proposed research. In the second, students must register their thesis once the project is approved, and as of then the deadlines for presenting and defending it shall start to count.
