From 12 March 2018 until 24 June 2018, the first round of applications for the new edition of the PhD course in Medieval Studies is open!
This interdisciplinary PhD in Medieval Studies is run as an e-learning program, which ensures we can accept students from all over the world and provide flexible training and education according to different schedules and personal demands. The program is taught with Portuguese language materials but evaluation processes can take place in another language chosen by the doctoral students. Permanent and interactive monitoring, integration into a plural, multidisciplinary and highly qualified team of teachers and researchers as well as the scope for working in intense collaboration, closely connected to the research activities ongoing at the Institute of Medieval Studies, NOVA FCSH, account for just some of the added values of this program.
Similarly, the opportunity to work with documentation available online or in places geographically close to doctoral students portrays another attractive aspect of this pedagogic service which aims to train researchers who combine their doctoral theses with the rigour and practices of interdisciplinarity. Therefore, interdisciplinary training is proposed to all doctoral students, which allows them to learn how to work in Archaeology, History, History of Art, Literature, Musicology and even in Codicology and Palaeography, combining them with other branches of knowledge that the doctoral students may more easily master.
This doctoral program includes a one-week intensive workshop (doctoral retreat) which enables doctoral students to attend various specialised seminars, to gain closer contact with documentation and supervisors and to present their work and queries to a doctoral student conference. Come and join us for this exciting challenge!
