General objectives of the program
Through the Inter-University Doctorate in Educational Psychology, the universities that promote the initiative aspire to:
Offer a quality doctoral programme, based on principles of epistemological, conceptual and methodological coherence, oriented towards knowledge and research in educational processes in diverse contexts and scenarios.
To offer students on the programme a wide range of lines of research, endorsed by leading research groups in Catalonia, where they can enrol and develop their own doctoral thesis project, with the guarantee of specialised and rigorous guidance and supervision.
To share the resources, both intellectual and material, of the participating research groups, in order to offer students on the programme a wider and richer range of training possibilities in Educational Psychology.
To promote the development and dissemination of the lines of work of the research groups participating in the programme through ongoing collaboration and exchange.
 
Specific requirements and criteria for admission to the doctoral program and applicant merit rating
In addition to the general admission requirements for doctoral studies set out in Royal Decree 99/2011 and those established by the Doctoral School of the University of Barcelona, in order to be admitted to the Inter-university Doctoral Programme in Educational Psychology (DIPE) students must meet specific requirements associated with the required applicant profile. DIPE students are typically holders of bachelor's degrees or pre-EHEA degrees in Psychology, Education, Educational Psychology, Teacher Training or related subjects. Candidates should show a particular interest in the fundamental principles and psychological components of formal and informal education, at different levels (primary, secondary and higher) and in different modes (face-to-face, online, blended). They should also have the basic skills and abilities to carry out research.

As such, the specific admission requirements are as follows:

1. A bachelor's degree or pre-EHEA degree in Psychology, Education, Educational Psychology or Teacher Training. In addition, holders of a bachelor's degree or pre-EHEA degree in Social Education, Sociology, Anthropology, Audiovisual Communication, Linguistics and other areas of the social sciences and humanities will be accepted if they provide evidence of at least five years' professional experience in education.

2. One of the following qualifications: a) Inter-university master's degree in Educational Psychology, taught by the UB, UAB, UdG and URL. b) A master's degree issued by a higher education institution in the European Higher Education Area, of the same academic level and offering equivalent research training to the master's degree indicated above, at the discretion of the Academic Committee; c) A qualification issued by an education system outside the European Higher Education Area, which shows that the holder has a level of education equivalent to the aforementioned master's degree.

3. Candidates must provide official certification of English language proficiency (at level B1 CEFR or a recognized equivalent). If this is not possible, a representative designed by the Academic Committee will assess the candidate's English language skills in a personal interview.

Pre-enrolment

Candidates may apply for admission to the DIPE at any time in the academic year. The application must be submitted to the chair of the programme's Academic Committee, together with scanned copies of the following documents:

1. Statement of interest, indicating the candidate's reasons for applying and their particular research interests;

2. Curriculum vitae, clearly stating the candidate's level of foreign language proficiency and ICT skills;

3. Academic record for the bachelor's or pre-EHEA degree and the master's degree, including a full list of subjects and the grades obtained.

4. Official document showing the applicant's professional experience in the field of education (if he/she does not hold a bachelor's degree, pre-EHEA degree or master's degree in psychology, education, educational psychology or teacher training).

Criteria for evaluating applications and selecting and admitting candidates

On the basis of the documentation submitted with the application, the Committee will consider each candidate's motivation, knowledge, training and previous experience and assess their merits on the basis of the following criteria:

1. Qualification used for admission: maximum 2 points, on the basis of the following criteria:

a)An inter-university master's degree in Educational Psychology, taught by the UB, UAB, UdG and URL: 2 points.

b) Access from master's degrees in similar disciplines, depending their compatibility with the research areas covered by the doctoral programme: 0-2 points.

2. Academic record for the bachelor's degree or pre-EHEA degree used for admission: maximum 2 points, depending on the grade point average.

3. Academic record for the master's degree used for admission: maximum 4 points, depending on the grade point average.

4. Statement of interest and research proposal: maximum 4 points.

5. Curriculum vitae: maximum 4 points, on the basis of the following criteria:

d) Master's degree grants awarded in competitive calls: maximum 1 point.

6. Possession of a doctoral grant at the time of application: maximum 3 points. Grants awarded in competitive calls by Catalan or Spanish institutions or by institutions in other countries will be given equal value.

7. Other academic merits (international placements, foreign language skills, familiarity with the specialized software required for the doctoral programme, etc.): maximum 1 point.
