PhD in Psychological Processes and Social Behavior

The implementation of a Doctorate program in Psychology arises as a proposal of the Department of Social, Basic and Methodological Psychology of the USC to the need to have a mechanism for the training of PhDs in Social and Behavioral Sciences within the Galician University System.

The group of researchers involved in this proposal is in a position to offer adequate resources to guarantee compliance with the objectives of training new competent researchers within the general field of Psychology, with diverse profiles that include both the investigation of basic psychological processes from an experimental perspective, such as the study of psychological processes in social contexts.

The Program contemplates the possibility of pursuing doctoral studies both full-time (preferred modality) and part-time, so that psychologists who work in these fields also have the opportunity to train as doctors.
