Education - Training activities

Cross-disciplinary training activities

The URV offers a range of cross-disciplinary training activities that doctoral students can choose to complement their scientific training.

These activities are common to all doctoral programmes. They broaden the knowledge of students, fostering generic skills and interdisciplinary relations between them.

See the cross-disciplinary training activities for the current academic year

Specific training activities

In addition to its cross-disciplinary training activities, the doctoral programme offers a series of optional and compulsory specific training activities.

For the Doctoral Degree in Education, the specific activities are as follows:

1. Doctoral Degree in Education Seminars: doctoral students present their research to their fellow students, their thesis supervisors, and the Academic Commission. This activity facilitates the exchange of ideas and experiences related to the field of research.
2. Discussion groups on educational research: quarterly sessions dedicated to discussing important scientific contributions in the field of education.

Mobility and scientific exchange activities

The doctoral programme can be taken entirely at the URV, or it can be taken through distance learning if so agreed with the thesis supervisor. However, mobility is an added value to the doctoral training, so it is usually recommended that students undertake a research stay abroad.

If a research stay outside Spain is undertaken for a minimum of three months, and the requirements of Royal Decree 99/2011 are met, the doctoral students may obtain the International Doctor Mention.
