Doctoral Programme
Third-cycle studies are normally pursued in order to complete a doctoral degree. A doctoral degree involves a course of study over four years, equivalent to 240 credits. The programme includes a course component and an independent project (a doctoral dissertation). A doctoral degree requires courses equivalent to 90 credits and a dissertation equivalent to 150 credits.
Education at the third-cycle level in Media and Communication Studies at ý gives students both a general specialisation in the theoretical and methodological traditions and debates of the discipline, and a connection to the research conducted in the department. Global perspectives have a prominent role together with the two research profiles of the subject: (1) “Communication, culture, and identity” and (2) “Media, democracy, and citizenship”. The dissertation projects in the subject normally belong to one of these two profiles.
