| General objectives of the program |
The PhD programme in History of Science aims to provide students with a cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary vision of the history of science. Its general objectives are to train researchers and teachers specialising in the history of science and to promote, foster and stimulate the development of lines of research related to the history of science.
The general objective of the PhD programme in History of Science is the preparation of a doctoral thesis in this discipline, through which the PhD student achieves the following particular objectives:
- Knowledge of the conceptual and methodological tools of the discipline, applied to their specific case of study or field.
- The ability to critically analyse, evaluate and synthesise new and complex ideas.
- The ability to communicate the results of their scientific work in the academic and professional community.
The proposal of this PhD programme responds to the historical relevance of science, technology and medicine, and its current importance: the history of science offers a global vision of the processes that have shaped contemporary science, technology and medicine, and is an excellent tool for analysis and understanding of science and its social relations, which complements the training of scientists by providing humanistic and ethical perspectives, and that of all those whose professional activity will have to do with science, from scientific communication and popularisation to museology. |
