ACCESS PROFILES
Given the transdisciplinary nature of philosophical studies, the Program allows the development of research associated with other areas of scientific and humanistic knowledge, as long as they clearly fit into one of the lines of research offered and the researcher responds to one of the access profiles established in the Verified Report, which are the following:
- Profile 1: graduates in Philosophy who have completed a university master's degree in Philosophy.
- Profile 2: graduates in any branch of knowledge who have completed a university master's degree in Philosophy.
- Profile 3: graduates in Philosophy or Humanities who have completed a Master's Degree in Secondary Education Teacher Training (specializing in Philosophy); access through this profile may require the completion of additional training if, in the opinion of the Academic Committee, the research topic of the doctoral student so advises.
- Profile 4: graduates or master's degree holders in other branches of knowledge, provided that the chosen line of research is consistent with the academic and research training received in the undergraduate and/or master's degree, access through this profile requires in any case the completion of complementary training.
The minimum compulsory complementary training for those who access by profile 4 -and for those who, accessing by profile 3, are also required in the opinion of the Academic Committee- are a minimum of 3 credits and a maximum of 9. The minimum compulsory is obtained by taking the subject "Philosophical research: procedures and methodology" (3 credits) of the Master's Degree in Research in Philosophy taught jointly by the University of La Laguna, the University of Murcia and the University of Zaragoza. The remaining 6 credits, of a non-obligatory nature, can be obtained by taking any of the other subjects of the same Master (the one that in each case is more appropriate to the research topic of the doctoral student).
The subjects and teaching guides of the aforementioned Master's Degree in Research in Philosophy are available at the following link.
In the case of doctoral students from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, the Academic Committee of the Program will carry out the appropriate procedures so that they can formalize an extracurricular enrollment in the corresponding subject/s without the need to enroll in the entire Master's Degree.
