Courses to be taken by all students:
Courses designed to deepen students' studies within the Research Line selected by each student. Students are required to take the seminar corresponding to their Research Line and subsequently complete Special Seminars and Directed Readings according to their academic and research interests.
The Doctoral Degree Program comprises curricular activities totaling a minimum of forty-five credits, to be completed prior to the thesis defense and submission of the final version of the dissertation. These activities are distributed across three blocks:
The Common Core courses are offered through integrated teaching programs. Taken together, they aim to provide a theoretical foundation for critically and scientifically understanding the field of Education.
Courses to be taken by all students:
Courses designed to deepen students' studies within the Research Line selected by each student. Students are required to take the Education, Society, and the Common Good course and subsequently complete Special Seminars and Directed Readings according to their academic and research interests.
Note: Enrollment in this activity is mandatory until completion of the program and is supervised by the student's advisor. No grades are assigned to these activities; students receive only a pass or fail designation. These activities constitute systematic opportunities for supervision, involving individual and collective sessions with the research group and/or Research Line. Considering the individual academic trajectories of doctoral students, the course descriptions established for the set of activities related to Thesis Preparation are flexible.
In the implementation of the curriculum, the Program also considers it important that, at the discretion of the advisor, students entering the Doctoral Program from other fields of knowledge may be allowed to take Master's-level courses whose content is considered relevant to their academic development and continuation in the Doctoral Program, concurrently with Doctoral-level courses.
