Doctoral Programme in Clinical and Health Psychology

• Research lines

Programme code: 3150

Regulations: RD 99/2011

Knowledge branch: Health sciences

Doctoral website: www.uv.es/dpcs

Organised by: Department of Psychological Personality,Evaluation and Treatment

Management Centre: Postgraduate School

Participating Universities: Universitat de València Estudi General

Programme Coordinator: Dra. Amelia Díaz Valcárcel

Places available for new students: 5 places

Aims: The aim of the doctoral programme is to train researchers who want to write their doctoral theses within the field of Clinical and Health Psychology. To do so, there are the following specific goals: to focus on the identification and approach of relevant research problems, to basic and applied levels; to use the appropriate methodological tools of analysis for the development of research; to instil the role of the scientific debate and the evaluation in the developing of quality research by training researchers with high level of competence; to promote the creation of research networks; to promote the transfer of knowledge among all the private and public bodies involved in Clinical and Health Psychology.

Description: The Department of Psychological Personality, Evaluation and Treatment, who proposes this programme jointly with other departments of the Faculty of Psychology, has a solid tradition within the framework of the Doctoral studies at the University of Valencia. From 1989 to nowadays, the Department has offered four Doctoral Programmes with different names, such as: “Health Psychology”, “Personality, Cognition and Society”, “Personality: Clinical and Social Approaches” and “Personality Psychology: Intervention in Clinical and Social Areas”. All these Programmes, in their consecutive editions, has caused great interest among the graduates from the different degrees that could have access to them; as a prove of this there was a high demand for admission application forms, which has forced us to apply selection criteria. The interesting factor of the Doctoral Programme is that it trains doctors in Clinical and Health Psychology from the areas of their specific competence, which is closely interconnected with the current predominant role of psychologists in the health sector, understanding this role in a wide sense, this is, including the aspects related both to the physical and mental health.

Doctoral programmes

The University of Granada is firmly committed to excellence across all of its doctoral programmes – excellence delivered by expert teaching staff with a solid scientific and technical track record who participate in major research projects at national and international level. We have long-standing experience in educating doctors and supporting candidates in producing high-quality theses with an international impact.

Why pursue a doctorate at the UGR?

1. a high-ranking university.

National and international rankings reflect the UGR’s outstanding position among the top universities in Spain and the best in the world. The 2019 Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU)—the most influential system of its kind on the globe—places the UGR as the fourth-highest ranked university in Spain and among the top 300 institutions in the world.

In total, 35 subjects taught at the University feature in the 2019 ARWU. Three of these UGR subjects feature among the world top 50.

2. World-class research

The UGR is internationally renowned for its excellence in diverse research fields, such as ICT (world top 50), health sciences, mathematics, cultural heritage, psychology, and linguistics, among others. Its 500+ research groups work in all areas of scientific knowledge, collaborating closely with other national and international leaders, as well as key industries.

In 2019, the UGR set a new record, with 35 academic subjects taught at our institution featuring in the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities. Particularly noteworthy are the University’s achievements in the subjects of Library & Information Sciences (36th worldwide); Food Science & Technology (37th worldwide); Mining and Mineral Engineering (47th worldwide), Computer Science & Engineering (global top 76-100); and Mathematics (global top 76-100).

We find a similar trend reflected in another leading ranking system — the 2019 CWTS Leiden Ranking — in which the UGR is currently ranked 5th in Spain.

3. A truly international experience

The UGR is the most popular global destination among European exchange students (Erasmus+) and the European leader in figures of both incoming and outgoing Erasmus students. It is a welcoming cosmopolitan university; about 30% of those enrolled on our doctoral programmes are international students.

Moreover, as a doctoral candidate at the UGR you will have the opportunity to participate in an extensive range of mobility programmes, thanks to the exchange agreements we maintain with higher education institutions in over 100 countries.

By completing a research period abroad, you can also obtain an “International Doctorate” Mention, greatly enhancing the value of your qualification.

4. A wide range of programmes and degrees

The UGR offers an extensive selection of high-quality academic programmes with a clear international vocation. In the academic year 2019-2020 the UGR will offer over 100 master’s degrees; 18 of which in international partnerships, as well as 28 doctoral programmes in three interdisciplinary schools.

5. Outstanding services and facilities

The UGR offers top-quality services for its students and staff, covering all aspects of university life (world-class research facilities, accommodation options, well-stocked libraries, high-speed Wi-Fi, canteens, disability services, sports facilities and many more). Our International Welcome Centre (IWC) caters directly to the needs of international doctoral candidates, researchers, postdocs and visiting staff — before, during and after their mobility period at the UGR.

6. Language learning opportunities

Students can learn Spanish and other languages alongside the 8,000 local and international students who enrol each year on courses offered by the UGR’s Modern Languages Centre, Confucius Institute (Chinese) and “Russkiy Mir” Russian Centre.

7. An ideal university city

Granada, a safe modern city, also has an outstanding geographical location just 40 minutes from the Mediterranean Coast with its tropical climate, and 30 minutes from the Sierra Nevada ski resort. The University merges with the city, its schools and campuses distributed throughout Granada, giving the city a lively student atmosphere (56,000 students in a city of 240,000 inhabitants). The UGR is also an intercontinental university, since it has campuses in both Granada and North Africa (Ceuta and Melilla).

8. A culturally and historically rich city

Granada is an enchanting city, full of monuments, history and, of course, the University. Along with its charm, its many cultural and recreational activities make it a great city to explore and a magnificent destination for students from around the world. Granada offers a wide range of cultural activities including festivals of flamenco, jazz, tango, theatre, poetry, magic, music, and dance.

The world-renowned Alhambra and Generalife palaces, which form the backdrop of Granada’s cityscape, are widely regarded as being among the most outstanding examples of Islamic architecture in the world. In 1984 these palaces, along with the labyrinth-like historical quarter known as the Albaicín, became UNESCO world heritage sites, further adding to Granada’s reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
