Education objectives
1) To provide students with an up to date understanding of the issues and theoretical perspectives of Anthropology, thereby enabling them to participate critically and with well-founded arguments in key national and international debates that contribute to this dynamic scientific area;
2) To develop methodological competencies with a view to conceptualising and operationalising research problems related to the eight anthropological research specialisations offered as well as to develop the skills required for the collection, systematisation, processing, interpretation and writing up of anthropological data;
3) To develop in-depth competencies in the eight anthropological research specialisations offered through actively integrating students in specific research projects being undertaken by the research centres associated to this cycle of studies;
4) To equip students with the skills required to carry out research autonomously, leading to a doctoral thesis within the scope of one of the areas of specialisation of the doctoral programme and which presents innovative results and therefore merits national and/or international divulgation and publication;
5) To equip students to communicate and engage in scientific debate about the procedures and results of such research, namely through the presentation of papers in seminars and conferences and through publication in externally refereed scientific journals;
6) To foster the relationship between the student and the scientific community in the national and international context as well as develop their ability to consider questions of scientific ethics and good research practice.
