The Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) is a fully accredited online university based in Barcelona with over 70,000 students worldwide. The University welcomes doctoral students who want to develop their research in a highly qualified and international setting and on a doctoral programme that is recognized throughout the European Higher Education Area.
Overview
About
The doctoral programme in Humanities and Communication trains students to research the social change phenomena that can be found in social practice and ideology. By studying new forms of social interaction, communication and artistic expression, our aim is to broaden our understanding of phenomena such as globalization, neocolonialism, inequalities, social movements and appropriation of technological innovations. This doctoral programme fosters an interdisciplinary, international approach to the study of these phenomena, which is also mirrored in the structure of the programme's research groups.
This doctoral programme aspires to train professionals endowed with a global, interdisciplinary, critical vision who will work in or influence the fields of culture and communication, understood as spheres for creation, public participation and economic production.

The UOC is offering grants for the Humanities and Communication Doctoral Programme for the 2021/2022 academic year.
These grants are only available to full-time students working on-site at the UOC.
The standard period that the grant covers is three years, and the grants are subject to an annual renewal. This renewal depends on the students' meeting the learning and research objectives established in each particular case. One of these objectives is to complete the thesis in no more than three years.
The programme also includes the possibility to develop an industrial doctorate, with grants for the best applicants with agreements with companies. Doctoral students undertaking an industrial doctorate will have a university supervisor and a tutor at the company.
Prospective applicants can find information on the application procedure, and on the content and organization of the doctoral programmes on the website. We recommend that you apply for access and contact the researcher who is in charge of the thesis proposal you are interested in, and send them a letter of introduction.
