Sociology: Knowledge for Open and Inclusive Societies - Inter-University PhD Programme OpenSoc

Doctoral Degree

Ano Letivo 2024/2025

Course Overview

This study cycle is considered by the group of participating institutions to provide a coherent response to the demands of qualified (fundamental and applied) sociological  knowledge, mobilising an extended body of lecturers and researchers who are open to the multiple dimensions of analysis, diverse theoretical paradigms and methodological approaches. Furthermore, the programme is open to contributions from neighbouring social sciences. In this sense, besides the aim of providing postgraduate training, within the mission of contributing towards the development of sociological knowledge and skills, it is equally important to highlight the participating institutions’ mission and acquired experience in relation to the diffusion, dissemination and transference towards society of the knowledge produced within the scope of the doctoral theses. And their commitment to broaden students’ employability and qualified trajectories in a global world.
