Program Overview

Program Overview

The Doctorate in Communication program is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in the field of communication. The program consists of a series of mandatory and voluntary formative activities (AF1, AF2, AF3, and AF4) that students must complete during their studies.

Evaluation

The evaluation of the formative activities is annual, and the Academic Commission of Doctorate (CAD) assesses all documents presented in the online module for monitoring doctoral theses, as well as the evaluation reports of the thesis tutor or director. A positive evaluation is a necessary requirement to continue in the program. In the event of a negative evaluation, the student will have the opportunity to re-evaluate within six months, and in the case of a second negative evaluation, the CAD will issue a motivated report, and the student will be definitively dropped from the program.
