Doctoral programs
The high schoolCore Curriculum organises the educational activityof doctorate:
" researchat the University: multidisciplinarity Ethics and society".
This activity offers a basic trainingon the foundations of the University of Navarra's projecteducational in relation to some of the most relevant issues in the current scientific and cultural context. It consists of a series of sessions given by different professors from the University, coming from very diverse areas, who try to open up interdisciplinary reflection and dialogue among students on the issues they address, always related to the anthropological and ethical foundations of the researchand the university teaching.
The meetingbetween teachers and students of doctoratefrom different areas favours the global perspective that the academic field necessarily requires.
Students are confronted with the problems posed in other areas of knowledgeand research.
They find a common frameworkand a university projectin which their workas researchers is inscribed.
They acquire a broader and more realistic view of the institution in which they work.
They have the opportunity to rationalise about the positive and stimulating relationship between the different areas of research and the contributions of Christianity that the University tries to keep in mind.
