presentation
The doctoral program in Philosophy is part of the doctorate School that the University of Navarra has implemented, in the framework established by the RD 99/2011, as a planning, coordination and monitoring body of the doctorate Programs, and the manager of its development and organization is the School of Philosophy and Letters.
It is a program adapted to the European Higher Education Area that meets the requirements set out in Royal Decree 1393/2007, of October 29, 2007, which establishes the organization of official university education. It was evaluated by theNational Agency for Assessment of Quality and Accreditation, and verified by the Universities committee . It has official status and is registered in the Registry of Universities Centers and Qualifications.
The Program has been adapted to the verification procedures foreseen by the RD 99/2011, of January 28, which regulates the official doctorate courses (BOE of February 10, 2011), having obtained a favorable report from the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ACAQA). National Agency for Assessment of Quality and Accreditation and positively verified by the Universities committee .
The University of Navarra's commitment to excellence and quality in the doctoral program in Philosophy has been accredited by the granting of the accredited specialization in Quality awarded by the National Agency for Assessment of Quality and Accreditation in the 2002 call (BOE December 17, 2002), which has received successive renewals until 2010. Subsequently, in the recent call for accredited specialization towards Excellence for doctorate programs of Spanish universities, our Program also obtained this accredited specialization (Resolution of October 6, 2011, published in the BOE of October 20, 2011).
The awarding of the accredited specialization of Quality since its first call (MCD 2003-00692), as well as the awarding of the accredited specialization towards Excellence in the recent call express the will of our Program to be a scientific and formative reference of the doctorate programs of study . The continuous obtaining and renewal of the aforementioned mentions also demonstrate the effort of our Program and professors to submit to external and impartial processes of prior assessment of the scientific-technical level of our doctorate, as well as of its contents, structure and objectives. They represent an express recognition by the national agency evaluating the quality of the training solvency of the doctoral program, and have allowed us to participate in obtaining grants for the mobility of professors and students in specific national calls and other competitive grants that are called every year.
As for external references to the University, the doctorate in Philosophy has a long tradition in Spain and in the Western world. Both the oldest national universities and the most internationally recognized ones all have doctorate programs. However, the approach to teaching in the doctorate and the ultimate approach to which the postgraduate programs of study lead may vary depending on the different university traditions. In the Anglo-American world, for example, in the most prestigious universities (Harvard, Cornell, etc.), the Magister Artis in Philosophy programs are designed primarily as a preliminary stage to the doctorate programs of study , and therefore are not offered independently. However, there is no shortage of universities that also offer them independently of the doctorate programs, such as New York University or Columbia. The programs vary from a more scientific to a more humanistic perspective.

Since its foundation in 1952, the University of Navarra has shown a clear interest in being present in all fields of knowledge and in contributing as much quality research as possible to the national and international scientific community. The field of philosophy is no exception to this interest.
Specifically, the doctoral program in Philosophy that develops the department of Philosophy of the University of Navarra has its origin in the creation of the Section of Philosophy, within the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, in the academic year 1963-64, specifically on 11 February 1964. C The following year - 22 June 1965 - the Ministry officially launched the Study program of doctorate (B.O.E. of 3 September 1965, decree 2455/65). In academic year 1965-66 three doctoral thesis were defended.
The number of doctoral theses presented and approved during the last five years has been 34. Initially, the professor and research unit to which the Programme was attached was the Philosophy Section. After the reorganisation of School at Departments, department was the group unit that developed the Programme. Currently, the doctoral program is integrated into the Doctoral School of the University of Navarra through the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, which is responsible for the development and organisation of each programme. The doctoral program of Philosophy at the University of Navarra took on a new dimension in the 1987-88 academic year, when an agreement was signed with the Universidad Panamericana, Mexico D.F., to offer this programme in collaboration with the School of Philosophy of that Mexican University. It was the first time that the University of Navarra had established an agreement with a non-Spanish university to jointly teach a programme doctoral program. This first agreement was followed by four more, in successive years, with other universities in Colombia, Chile, Argentina and Peru. In the same sense, it is also worth mentioning the Double Doctorate in Philosophy-Sociology that is carried out together with the University of Sacro Cuore in Milan (see agreement).
The University of Navarra has implemented the Doctoral School in the framework established by RD 99/2011, as the planning, coordination and monitoring body for Doctoral Programmes.
It is chaired by Vice President and has an executive Director and three deputy directors representing the three main areas of the university: Social Sciences, Law and Humanities (to which this DP belongs), Experimental and Health Sciences and Engineering and Architecture.
The School establishes the objectives and strategic lines of third cycle at the University and ensures that they are properly fulfilled.
As is well known, the studies at third cycle constitute the culmination of the training professor and research that a University can offer its students. The opening of a licentiate degree in 1964 found in the Doctorate its natural extension for a double reason, which is still valid today: on the one hand, the doctoral program is the main breeding ground for professors both for the University of Navarra itself and for other Spanish and foreign universities; on the other hand, the growing and justified concern to make the Spanish University a lively and dynamic centre of research is supported by a number of essential instruments. The PhD is undoubtedly one of them, and perhaps the most qualified.
The following Departments and centres of the University of Navarra are participating in development :
department of Philosophy (School of Humanities and Social Sciences)
