Student profile

The PhD student profile is a student that holds an accredited MA qualification, although not necessarily in humanistic studies. Students will need to have an excellent command of their mother tongue, and of any other languages that may enhance their scope for being admitted to research projects in various broad cultural contexts. Students are expected to be able to submit an original dissertation project, in keeping with the current research lines covered by the PhD programme.

Qualification profile

Taking into consideration the fact that this PhD programme essentially fosters a research-oriented profile, newly qualified doctors should be eligible to apply for postdoctoral research positions by obtaining international scholarships and grants. In certain cases, this should be with a view to gaining admission to an academic career path and, in other cases, to take up positions of responsibility in public and private cultural institutions such as museums and publishing houses. The interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary education followed by newly qualified doctors may enable them to be eligible for work positions in a broad field of sectors in today’s society.
