Why choose the Department for your PhD?
Members of our Department have longstanding experience in supervising PhD candidates from different disciplines and linguistic backgrounds. Co-tutelle schemes, that is joint supervisions and double degree programmes with other universities are a frequent practice. PhD projects are either linked to structural positions of the University, are integrated in externally funded research projects, or are part of specific training networks (e.g. Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks, FNR-PRIDE …). They can also be based on individual scholarships or can be self-funded. Depending on the supervisor’s specialization, PhD degrees can be awarded in Architecture, Geography, and the Social Sciences.
