Abstract

Resumen
El artículo analiza algunos de los retos que se plantean a los programas de doctorado en el siglo XXI. Tras explicar la naturaleza de todo doctorado, se describe la situación actual de estos estudios en algunos países destacados del mundo: tanto en cuanto al número de alumnos como en cuanto a otros rasgos sociales. En el último apartado, el más extenso, se plantean algunas de las tendencias actuales en la configuración de los programas de doctorado (currículo, duración, enfoque pedagógico), incidiendo en la importancia del cosmopolitismo, la interdisciplinariedad, el aprendizaje a través del modelo de tutoría, o la articulación de una comunidad intelectual que aliente el trabajo de los estudiantes de doctorado.
