PhD
PhD research projects are significant and highly valued contributions to the overall research conducted at the Saxo Institute in the research areas of History, Ethnology, Greek and Latin as well as Classical and Prehistoric Archaeology.
PhD students follow a 3-year research education programme, which culminates in submitting a PhD thesis and a public defence leading to the award of the PhD degree.
The PhD programme aims to strengthen and develop the PhD research projects, give the PhD students supreme conditions for writing a thesis at a high international standard, and obtain the PhD degree within the prescribed period of study.
The PhD programme and PhD environment of the Saxo Institute is organised by associate professor and PhD coordinator Daniel Steinbach. He manages the communication with applicants related to the academic profile of the institute, the PhD environment and prospective PhD supervisors.
For further information about the PhD programme at the Saxo Institute, please contact Daniel Steinbach.
All PhD students enrolled at the Saxo Institute will be offered a mentor. The aim is to ensure the newly enrolled student a quick, easy and effective introduction to the social-academic life and to provide the student with a personal, steady and reliable contact who will lend a helping hand with the social, practical and administrative issues that faces a newcomer at the institute
The PhD programme is part of the PhD School at the Faculty of Humanities.
