PhD Programme
The Development Studies PhD Programme is one of those offered by the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU). It is run by the Hegoa Institute and the departments of Applied Economics, Sociology and Social Work, Company Law, and the Gezki Institute. It holds the "Mention towards Excellence" awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education.
The PhD Programme is aimed at training researchers in areas related to its underlying lines of research. The programme is interdisciplinary and fosters work on PhD theses aimed at delving further into a rigorous and critical analysis of globalisation, development processes and international cooperation.
