RESUMEN Cuando se leen las mediciones que se hacen en el mundo sobre las performances universitarias admira, cuestiona y/o desagrada que solo una universidad nacional merodee el puesto 900 a nivel mundial y el puesto 30 a nivel latinoamericano, las siguientes no figuran ni en el puesto 1500 a nivel mundial ni en el 75 a nivel latinoamericano. Algo le está pasando al sistema universitario peruano que no resiste ninguna comparación con sus similares de la región y menos del mundo.Ante la realidad que nos presentan repetidamente los rankings, no será inmoderado aceptar que ahora se exige a la universidad mundial variables y afanes rigurosos: • Contenidos de alta calidad que impactan en la vida diaria.• Flexibilidad para seleccionar y profundizar el conocimiento.• Acceso fácil e ilimitado de la información.• Mucha simulación e interactividad con el entorno real.• Profesores de reconocimiento y amplio prestigio.• Promoción de emprendimiento y visualización creativa.• Amplias redes sociales en todo el mundo.• Significativo apoyo de la tecnología de información y comunicación.• Esforzada dedicación y tutoría al alumno.• Investigación ligada al desarrollo nacional y local.• Mecanismos de vinculación permanente con los egresados.• Existencia de un órgano consultivo del mundo productivo.• Respaldo administrativo consistente.• Acreditación de la calidad de sus resultados. En ese escenario, el sistema universitario nacional tiene que cambiar y en la nueva forma de actuación que se le demanda, de asumir algunos cambios y guardar una real armonía entre la pedagogía y la administración, surgirá el éxito que le corresponde, pues ambas tendrán que empezar a nutrirse y soportarse en favor de la enseñanza-aprendizaje. Palabra clave: Pedagogía, Administración, Éxito universitarioABSTRACT When reading the measurements made in the world of college performances, it is remarkable, questionable and unpleasant that only a Public University ranks 900 in the world and 30th in Latin America, the others are listed neither the post 1500 globally nor 75 in Latin America. Something is happening to the Peruvian university system that does not stand any comparison with its counterparts in the region or the world. Facing the reality that rankings show repeatedly, it will not be intemperate to accept that   global university requires rigorous  effort and variables: • High quality contents that impact daily life.• Flexibility to select and deepen knowledge.• Easy and unlimited access to information.• Many simulation and interactivity with the real environment.• Well recognized and prestigious teachers.• Entrepreneurship promotion and creative view.• Widespread social networks worldwide.• Significant support of information technology and communication.• Endeavour and tutoring to student.• Research linked to national and local development.• Permanent linking mechanisms with graduated students.• Existence of an advisory body of the productive world.•  Consistent administrative support.• Quality of  the results accreditation. In that scenario, the Public University System must change and, in the new form of performance that is demanded, assuming some changes and having a real harmony between pedagogy and administration, will emerge the success it deserves, as both have to start nurturing and supporting for the teaching and learning process . Keyword: Pedagogy, Management,  College Success

Abstract: The aim of doctoral programs in psychology is to help students become competent psychologists, capable of conducting research and of finding suitable employment. Starting with a brief description of the basic organization of the French university system, this paper presents an overview of how the psychology doctoral training is organized in France. Since October 2000, the requisites and the training of PhD students are the same in all French universities, but what now differs is the openness to other disciplines according to the size and location of the university. Three main groups of doctoral programs are distinguished in this paper. The first group refers to small universities in which the Doctoral Schools are constructed around multidisciplinary seminars that combine various themes, sometimes rather distant from psychology. The second group covers larger universities, with a PhD program that includes psychology as well as other social sciences. The third group contains a few major universities that have doctoral programs that are clearly centered on psychology (clinical, social, and/or cognitive psychology). These descriptions are followed by comments on how PhD programs are presently structured and organized. In the third section, I suggest some concrete ways of improving this doctoral training in order to give French psychologists a more European dimension.
