PhD Programme
PhD Philosophy
In the four year PhD degree programme, students conduct their own research while the Graduate School provides a balanced mix of expert supervision, tailor made postgraduate training and the freedom to pursue your own ideas within a relevant research theme. The results are written down in a PhD thesis (or dissertation). After a successful defence, you will be awarded with an internationally highly esteemed PhD degree.
The PhD degree programme has a duration of 4 years, which amounts to 240 European Credit Points (EC). Of these 240 EC, a minimum of 20 EC are earmarked for tuition.
The programme can be followed part-time, but may not exceed a duration of 5 years in total.
As a PhD candidate you will become a member of the research community of the respective department.
