The doctoral programme in "Psychology of the human resources" offers excellence training that benefits the advance in the knowledge of the psychosocial aspects of the resources and human capital in its different organisations, its development processes and, specially, those that concern the quality of the working life, making easier the transfer of this study to the immediate socio-economic environment. This doctoral programme already has a relevant career in the Spanish university. Its beginnings are located in the 2002-2003 year. In this moment, and being the University of Valencia coordinator, the interuniversity doctoral programme in "Master's Degree in Psychology of Work, Organisations and Human Resources" obtained the quality mention from the Ministry (MCD2003-00035), mention renewed continuously until the 2005-2006 year. In the following course, said programme transformed itself into the one currently offered and obtained, again, the quality mention (MCD2006-00560), equally renewed until today. The continuity of the programme along these years, as well as the ministerial honour, show the success and viability of this doctorate regarding the training of researchers and developing doctoral theses. The student that accesses this programme incorporates from the start to a solid research activity, subscribed to the University Institute for Research in Human Resources Psychology, Organisational Development and Quality of Work Life (IDOCAL); he/she is integrated, as well, in a training context in which the different approaches for their studies meet, mainly in Social Psychology, Methodology and Psychobiology. Also from the beginning, the international dissemination of his/her activity, stays in foreign centres, as well as the contact with renowned experts of other countries are assured, by means of seminars and lectures about different subjects (innovative approaches in international research; demands for the publication of studies in high impact scientific journals, etc.). All of this as a needed strategy to maintain and develop the excellence standard that characterises this programme.
