The doctoral curriculum consists of a taught component and supervised individual research. It is designed to be completed in three years.

  • During the first year, students dedicate 100% of their time to course and seminar attendance.
  • In the second year, students dedicate only 40% of their time to training and the remaining time to research.
  • In the third and final year, students dedicate almost all their time to research – 80% - along with attending specific workshops, summer schools, or seminars related to their research project.

In addition, various research-related events, such as courses, seminars, and meetings, are organized throughout the academic year in collaboration with other PhD courses at the University and external partners.

The training of the doctoral student is completed by a mandatory period of study and research at a foreign university or research center.
