"My experience at the Faculty of Human Sciences was amazing at three different levels. The doctoral programme introduced me to a wide variety of  contemporary issues in communication studies, and to a diverse set of teaching styles and techniques. Along with fellow students, I had the opportunity to exchange and debate ideas and methods and sharpen my critical reasoning. Perhaps the most important of all to be praised, are the relationships with the faculty, whether in the first year of classes or the following period of independent research. The insights and guidance of all professors offered me an even greater breadth of research perspectives. So, it was the combination of such a rigorous coursework, with a stimulating student body and a high quality faculty, that equipped me to work and thrive at the frontiers of knowledge in communication studies."

“Attending and completing the PhD in Communications Studies was a highly enriching experience whether in personal, academic or professional terms. The contact with a teaching staff of unrivalled quality and with a very stimulating approach to the various fields of communications studies, as well as their sharing of experience and knowledge – especially in the conferences and seminars in which we are encouraged to participate -, made a very positive impression on this period of my life. The unconditional support of the teaching staff, my supervisor and the program coordination team were all determinant in my achievements in this phase. I would furthermore like to highlight the human and warm welcome that I always received at the Faculty and the solid relationships that I deepened and have maintained on into life. It was without doubt a challenge that shall always mark my life.”

"After several years working as a communications consultant, I discovered a new vocation in the PhD in Communication Sciences. It was a profoundly transformative experience that allowed me to enhance communicative and analytical skills and build collaborative networks with researchers at the University and at national and international events which I was given the opportunity to attend. At every single stage of the PhD process, my world and my possibilities were expanded. I was encouraged and supported in applying for grants that allowed me to travel and to exchange knowledge and experiences in a way that was truly inspiring. I cannot be thankful enough for the new and stimulating professional and personal changes that this PhD programme has enabled."

“The PhD in Communications Studies was an enriching and enticing experience, enabling me to develop critical reflections on the complex reality of the media within a context of change and globalisation. The level of demand and rigor that I found among the teaching staff, in addition to their availability and effective proximity, ensure I can fully and enthusiastically recommend the PhD Program in Communications Studies at Universidade Católica Portuguesa.”

The rigour of teaching, the proximity of follow-up and the various opportunities for academic exchanges provided by the Faculty of Human Sciences have created a unique learning experience for me. The PhD in Communication Sciences is not just a study programme, but also an innovative and challenging experience."
