About the programme

The scientific fields we classify as the humanities and social sciences touch on many aspects of our lives and are extremely important for the preservation and development of society and its culture. The main objective of the interdisciplinary doctoral programme in Humanities and Social Sciences is to provide doctoral students with the basic knowledge as a foundation for research in the various fields of the humanities and social sciences, and to develop the skills relevant for independent research and the application of the acquired knowledge at an internationally comparable level. The focus is on research, international mobility and interdisciplinarity. The programme aims at shaping the doctoral student to be broad-minded and competent to carry out the most demanding interdisciplinary research.
