General objectives of the program
The main purpose of this doctoral programme is to train new researchers in the areas of information and documentation and communication. The programme aims to train researchers who are able to respond to the challenges posed by the information society and who can advise institutions that have traditionally worked in these fields at a time when new conceptual approaches, new research methods, and new mechanisms of professional intervention and business models are needed.
 
Specific requirements and criteria for admission to the doctoral program and applicant merit rating
The recommended qualifications for access to this doctoral programme are a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in an area of information science or communication (as specified below). However, due to the interdisciplinary nature of these knowledge areas, degree holders in other disciplines may also be admitted provided that they meet the general academic requirements.

In addition to the general admission requirements and criteria, selection will be overseen by the Academic Committee on the basis of following criteria and points, scored as shown in brackets:
