The order and organization of a complex system emerges from the interaction between the units that make it up. Human societies are examples of complex systems and we, with our interactions, are the units that give life to them. However, we are not just gears of a system, nor is society the mere sum of us.
Faced with the methodological reductionism of some disciplinary approaches, the Doctorate in Social Complexity Sciences proposes to study these systems from an interdisciplinary perspective where theoretical frameworks and methodological tools from the social sciences are combined with those from the natural and exact sciences.
In order to prepare our diverse body of students, not only they receive a strong formation in quantitative methods and behavioral sciences from the early stages of the program, they also join ongoing inter-disciplinary research projects developed in collaboration with our global research network; and transference projects in which they can apply this knowledge to real social problems.
