The PhD programme

The PhD programme at the Faculty of Humanities has a duration of 3 years. In this time, the PhD student will be engaged in a variety of activities required to complete the programme. In addition to conducting research and writing a PhD thesis under expert supervision, PhD students are formally required to disseminate their research, complete relevant PhD courses and change research environment.

The programme ends by submitting a thesis for assessment by an international committee and by publicly defending the thesis before a PhD degree can be awarded.

To ensure transparency and alignment of expectations, the PhD school has issued a set of core principles for the PhD programme at the Faculty of Humanities:
