Programme Structure

Curriculum:

There are different kinds of courses: for example, theoretical or methodology-based doctoral courses organised by the department or faculty.

There may also be courses taken at other universities, nationally or internationally, or through participation at a summer school, a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common in the international research community (ECREA’s summer school is one of them). A common course type is the independent study course.

General requirements

To be admitted to a doctoral programme, you need to have completed courses of at least 240 credits (of which at least 60 credits must be for Master’s level studies) or acquired equivalent knowledge in some other way.

In most cases, students will hold a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree, with a major in the same subject as the intended postgraduate study. The major must include a degree thesis presenting the results of independent research.

The quality of your thesis/theses is of particular importance and it is important that you demonstrate a capacity for independent thinking in this piece of work.
