Other requirements

General requirements

  • The doctoral programme recommends that, well in advance of submitting their application, applicants contact teachers in the suitable field to receive instructions concerning the suitability of their research proposal for supervisory and research profile in the field (no supervisory assistance can otherwise be offered for the research proposal). Applicants are expected to use their initiative in finding a supervisor (see selection criteria, supervisory arrangements).  Email messages sent to teachers must be accompanied by a preliminary research proposal (max. 5 pages).
  • A favourable statement from the desired supervisor is not required at the application stage.
  • The previous degree must be relevant to the planned research topic and the discipline. A degree is regarded as relevant if it includes sufficient studies in a discipline which, given the topic of the proposed doctoral dissertation, can be regarded as a suitable basis for doctoral studies.
