From 12 March to 25 June 2019, the first phase of applications is open for the new edition of the PhD course in Medieval Studies, jointly run by the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, NOVA University (NOVA FCSH) and Universidade Aberta.
This interdisciplinary PhD in Medieval Studies is taught on an e-learning regime, which enables the acceptance of students from all over the world and provide training and education flexibility in accordance with different personal schedules and requirements. The taught materials are in Portuguese but the assessments may be completed in other languages.
The constant and interactive supervision, integration into a plural, multidisciplinary and highly qualified team of teachers and researchers as well as the possibility to work in an intensely collaborative way, in close alignment with the activities and research carried out at the Institute of Medieval Studies of NOVA FCSH, are only some of the added values to this PhD program.
The scope for working with the documentation available online or in places where doctoral students live constitutes another attractive feature of this pedagogic provision that seeks to train researchers combining their doctoral theses with the rigour and the practices of interdisciplinarity. Therefore, an interdisciplinary training is proposed to 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 enter into closer contact with documentation and supervisors and present their work and doubts at a conference of peers.
Come and join us in this exciting challenge! This year, registration is taking place via the Universidade Aberta platform. View all the respective information in the Opening Announcement, soon to be available, here.
The second phase for applications will take place between 20th August and 3rd September 2019.
