a Doctorate Program jointly offered by the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona, la
Universitat de Barcelona, la Universitat Pompeu Fabra and la Universitat Rovira
i Virgili, is one of the programs constituting the International Graduate School
of Catalonia (IGSOC, <A href="http://www.igsoc.net/">www.igsoc.net</A>). The
program has also received the “Mención de Calidad” (Quality Distinction) from
the Ministry of Education (MECD, <A
href="http://www.univ.mecd.es/univ/jsp/plantilla.jsp?id=1102">www.univ.mecd.es/univ/jsp/plantilla.jsp?id=1102</A>).
The program has trained students for research in philosophy, linguistics and
psychology since 1988. An important aspect of this program is that aside from
training the student in one of these disciplines, there isn’t a loss of
interdisciplinary interest with the others. The IGSOC is now offering
international students an opportunity to two grants, each providing the student
with 825 Euros per month for the academic year 2003 – 2004, which can be renewed
for up to three more academic years. Students accepted to the program from other
universities will also receive support from the “mobility grants” offered by the
Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte, for about € 4.000 (yearly) (see the
Ministry regulation of 18/11/2002, “anexo B, B.2.1”, in the above mentioned web
page). </SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US

of any nationality may apply to the Spanish Ministry for Education for a
graduate grant. In addition, European students may join the opportunity to apply
for graduate grants offered by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology
and the Catalan Government’s DURSI.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Combining the success of this program with continued support of the IGSOC
the probability of obtaining a scholarship or grant is greatly
increased.</SPAN><SPAN lang=EN-US
