Program
Program Structure
The PhD program consists of two phases.
During the first phase, known as the graduate studies phase, the main focus is on studies related to a specific field and guided research. This lays the foundation for your PhD thesis and research. During the graduate studies phase, you will attend subject and research-oriented lectures and seminars and prepare a thesis proposal.
The second phase of the program, the doctoral studies phase, is devoted to independent research for the preparation of the thesis.
The transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 is granted by the successful completion of the graduate studies phase and the preparation of a thesis proposal.
