The doctoral programme "Law, political Science and criminology" will be the only of general nature to provide the Faculty of Law of the University of Valencia, a centre studying more than 6,000 undergraduate students and about 500 postgraduate or official master’s degree. Its scientific and academic interest is reflected in its teaching staff and collaborations, as there are dozens of R&D&I projects within the scientific and research offer of the programme, hundreds of professors encompassed by numerous research teams, a very unusual nationwide published scientific work, and also a very large number of doctoral theses read and ranked with the highest score on the most diverse subjects in the world of Law. All these factors determine the need for its implementation so that the Faculty can progress in coordinating their efforts in the field of research, a task that began in 2007 with the first centralised nature programme.
