PhD Degrees in Spain

Spain, officially the Kingdom of Spain, is a sovereign state and a member state of the European Union. It is located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe. Spanish universities regulate access to their degrees, and they fix the academic fees. They can also offer unofficial postgraduate degrees. Madrid has the largest number of bars per capita of any European city and a very active nightlife.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.

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.

The date, time, and place of the Defense will be announced by memo from the Dissertation Director at least two weeks in advanced to the rest of the committee, the candidate, the Director of Graduate Studies, the department Chairperson, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Dean of Graduate Studies and Media Relations.

The oral defense, which is open to public, will take the following form: 10-15 minute presentation by candidate, 10 minute question period from each member of the dissertation committee.

Following the successful defense, as determined by a majority vote of the student's committee, the dissertation or thesis is forwarded to the Academic Dean and to the dean of graduate studies for their approval.

The Ph.D. dissertation must be completed within five years of the doctoral comprehensive examination, or the examination will have to be retaken.

Seminars on Professional Concerns

The Department of Modern Languages recognizes the need to inform graduate students regarding a wide range of professional issues directly related to the successful development of their academic careers. To that end, each year it sponsors a series of meetings during which these concerns can be more fully addressed and explored. The professional concerns seminars meet as needed and are led by one or several faculty members. Topics to be covered include "Publishing your work," "Participating in conferences and symposia," "Applying for grants and fellowships," "Writing the curriculum vitae," "Applying for jobs," and "Preparing for an interview." Other possible topics for discussion might include book reviewing, publishing the dissertation and networking. Students may also propose a seminar on a topic not listed here that is of special professional concern to them. Such proposals are channeled through the Director of Graduate Studies.

Graduate and Teaching Assistantships

A limited number of assistantships are available each year for doctoral students. Candidates seeking an assistantship must apply in writing to the Graduate Program Director by December 15th. Assistantships normally consist of a stipend of $20,000 per academic year (including the summer terms) and a matriculation fee-waiver.

In exchange, students who receive assistantships must work twenty hours per week for the Department and must take a minimum of nine credits per semester and six credits in the summer. Students with more than eighteen graduate credits generally fulfill their work requirements by teaching one language class per term.

Assistantships are incompatible with outside employment. Please see the Graduate Program Director for further information. Renewal is not automatic but contingent upon the student's successful performance in the following areas: (1) academics (2) work as graduate or teaching assistant, (3) participation in all the meetings and activities organized by the department. Renewals must be approved by the graduate committee in consultation with the student’s advisor and the Language Coordinator. In order to have the Teaching Assistantship renewed, ABDs will have to show adequate progress towards the completion of their dissertation.

For information on additional special scholarships, please contact the Graduate Program Director.

Remembering Daniel C. Dennett, University and Fletcher Professor of Philosophy Emeritus

This message is being sent on behalf of the Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences.

Dear colleagues,

It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Daniel C. Dennett, University and Fletcher Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, passed away early this morning. He was 82.  

Dan Dennett was truly a once-in-a-generation scholar, teacher, and colleague. His career at Tufts spanned more than 50 years and we are incredibly fortunate to have had him as a part of our community for so long.

After receiving his AB in philosophy at Harvard University and his PhD in philosophy at the University of Oxford, Dan taught at the University of California, Irvine, from 1965 to 1971, before arriving at Tufts as an associate professor. He was promoted to professor in 1975 and chaired the Department of Philosophy from 1976 to 1982. Dan was named University Professor in 2000, Tufts’ highest honor for faculty members. That year, he also became the Fletcher Professor of Philosophy, and he received the distinction of University Professor Emeritus when he retired at the end of 2022.

Dan was a major intellectual figure internationally, with research centering on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and philosophy of biology, particularly as those fields relate to evolutionary biology and cognitive science. He published 21 books, such as Darwin's Dangerous Idea: Evolution and the Meanings of Life (1995) and Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon (2006), and more than 560 articles. Interestingly, an off-Broadway play, “The Unbelieving,” which was staged in New York City in 2022, was directly inspired by interviews with clergy conducted for his book (with researcher Linda LaScola) Caught in The Pulpit: Leaving Belief Behind (2013).

At least 18 books have been written about Dan and his work, and he appeared in numerous documentaries, including A Glorious Accident (1993). In 2011 he collaborated with Tufts undergraduate Matthew Hurley and Assistant Professor of Psychology Reginald Adams to coauthor Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind (2011). He also chaired the Loebner Prize Committee that held the first three restricted Turing test competitions. Students and colleagues from around the world traveled to Tufts to study, work, and think alongside him.

Dan’s pioneering approach to his field has garnered international attention for more than half a century. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1987, and has received two Guggenheim awards, a Fulbright fellowship, and a fellowship at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. From the last decade alone, his awards included the Mind & Brain Prize (2011), the Erasmus Prize (2012), the SINe medal (2016), and the Carl Sagan Award (2018). Dan gave talks across the globe, even after retirement, and was awarded numerous honorary degrees, granted by universities spanning from Connecticut to Bucharest.

Dan assisted and advised former Tufts President Jean Mayer in his efforts to turn Tufts into a major research university. During Larry Bacow’s presidency, he created and hosted the Tufts High Table dinners, which gave faculty members the opportunity to get to know each other in non-committee contexts, and which led to many longstanding friendships and collaborations. He also served as director of the Tufts Center for Cognitive Studies since its inception in 1985 and co-founded the Curricula Software Studio in 1985.   Dan is survived by his wife of over 60 years, Susan, their son, Peter, their daughter, Andrea, and six cherished grandchildren, as well as his two sisters, Charlotte and Cynthia.   Those seeking support during this time may wish to make use of the services of the Tufts Employee Assistance Program and/or the University Chaplaincy .    Thank you for joining us as we send our heartfelt condolences to the Dennett family and to all those whose lives Dan touched.

Sincerely yours,

James M. Glaser Dean, School of Arts and Sciences

In partnership with the  Johns Hopkins School of Medicine , the Bloomberg School offers students the opportunity to earn a Doctor of Medicine (MD) alongside a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) – a rigorous combination that prepares graduates for prestigious careers in academic medicine.

The long-lasting relationship between the School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School – both situated along the same city block here in Baltimore – fosters the ideal environment for this combined six or eight year program.

Students complete two years of medical school before devoting themselves full-time to their PhD studies. After completion of the PhD degree requirements, students then complete their MD degree.

Interested “physician-scientists” should contact the MD/PhD program administrator, Sharon Welling ( [email protected]  or 410-955-8008), and visit the  MD/PhD Program's website  for full details on admission requirements and application procedures.

New chief brings years of law enforcement experience to UB

Published April 25, 2024

Growing up in Buffalo’s Cold Springs neighborhood, Kim Beaty never imagined a career in law enforcement.

But after three decades in the Buffalo Police Department and five years as director of public safety at Canisius University, Beaty is still at it and taking on her latest challenge: chief of police at UB.

“I never thought I would stay a long time in law enforcement because it wasn’t my life’s dream,” Beaty says. “But I ended up loving it. Law enforcement has been a career of a lifetime.”

Beaty took over as UB police chief on Nov. 16, responsible for managing, planning and directing the law enforcement activities of 72 staff serving some 40,000 people across three campuses.

She brings with her a “breadth and depth” of experience accumulated while climbing the ranks of the Buffalo Police Department, where she started as a patrol officer and retired as deputy commissioner of operations and homeland security after 31 years on the force.

That included time as a community policing officer, when she learned how to gain the trust of activists in the neighborhoods, and as a trainer in the police academy, when she found her niche teaching future officers.

As a lieutenant, she recognized the importance of diversity within the ranks and spearheaded a recruiting program. Prior to her appointment as deputy commissioner, Beaty was chief of E District, which encompasses some of the toughest neighborhoods in the city.

Her shift into higher education in 2018 has been enjoyable. Beaty headed up public safety at her alma mater, Canisius, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in communication and a master’s in higher education and student affairs.

At UB, Beaty is still getting acquainted with the students, faculty and staff, as well as the sheer size of the university and the SUNY system. But she wants to continue to place an emphasis on community policing and promoting crime prevention and safety awareness on and around UB’s campuses.

“People want to feel safe, but I want them not just to feel safe — but to be safe,” she says.

Beaty also wants to keep building upon the success of a department that prides itself on its professionalism. That, she says, will mean some strategic changes within the department.

“Change is always hard, but it also brings growth and that’s what I’m looking for,” she says.

Beaty lives in Lancaster with her husband, Vernon, who is also retired from the Buffalo Police Department. She has a stepson, also Vernon, and a daughter, Kayla.

UBNow recently caught up with Beaty at her office in Bissell Hall, where she talked about being the only girl in a military family of six siblings; how she climbed the ladder in a male-dominated field; and her carpentry skills.

The interview was edited for length and clarity:

You said you didn’t want to be a police officer growing up. Why?

The police were not always superheroes and friendly in the neighborhoods where I grew up. Not that they had to be friendly, but I thought they should at least be approachable. One night, police barged into our house and things did not end well. That’s why I never thought I would go into a career in law enforcement, because I didn’t have a lot of faith in the system. Now, I do this to be a part of positive change.

So, what career were you interested in and what changed your mind about law enforcement?

I thought I would enjoy working in the media, so that’s what I went to school for. My dream job was to be a news reporter and I really thought that’s what I was going to do.

But while at Canisius, I would see this older gentleman recruiting for the police department. He would say, ‘We don’t have a lot of women working in the police department and we need women. Why don’t you join?’ I decided to take the civil service test, did very well and never looked back. Once I became a part of it, I grew to enjoy it. Ever since, I’ve been an advocate for women in leadership; equity, diversity and inclusion; community policing; and training for law enforcement.

What are issues at the forefront of your mind as a police chief on a big university campus?

Mental health. Active-shooter response. Relationship building.

If I had to put those in order I would say, No. 1 building relationships and No. 2 mental health, because mental health has everything to do with active shooter and safety. Safety is the big circle around all of those.

Do you have a philosophy you bring to the job?

Yes. Be patient, because some things don’t happen as fast as you want them to. Be kind, but you also have to be firm. Treat people with dignity and respect. Leaders have to be able to make decisions. You also have to be careful what you say — but you have to mean what you say.

How would you describe your leadership style?

It depends on the situation, but I would say I’m a transformational leader. I am authoritative as well as open-minded. I am a listener who wants to gain understanding about how people feel about things. I want others to learn.

I’ll say it this way: I’ll give people all of what they need and some of what they want.

What do you like to do when you’re not being the police chief?

I like to walk. That’s my way to exercise. I used to like to shop, but COVID and the changes in our society have changed my mind on that, so sometimes I’ll shop online. I’m not a television person, either, but if somebody tells me there’s a good show streaming on TV, I will binge watch if I have time.

A lot of people don’t know this, but I like to build things — like cabinets and shelving. I’m not a professional at it, but it helps relax me. I also like figuring things out, from something as simple as a puzzle to something as major as a crime. I like to find answers — and I like to know the why.

Do you have questions or comments for the Office of the Provost? Let us know your thoughts and we’ll be happy to get back to you.
