Dual PhD European and Global Studies

On the basis of a research and teaching cooperation which has been ongoing since 2007, we offer a Dual PhD programme in the broad area of European and Global Studies. This dual PhD is jointly delivered and awarded by Lancaster University and the University of Siegen in Germany.

You will be supervised by one supervisor from Lancaster and one from Siegen, and graduate with two degrees, one from each university, on the basis of one thesis. PhD theses can be written in:

European and Global Studies

Sociology

Political Sciences

History

Law

Linguistics

German/English/French Studies

Media/Film/Cultural Studies

Applied Social Sciences

Contemporary Art

Philosophy

Religious Studies

You will spend half of your studies in each of the two countries, and fees will be split accordingly. As UK fees are considerably higher than German ones, this is a rare opportunity to take a British doctoral degree without paying the usual sums. You will take part and be integrated in specialised and active research groups such as the Research Group on Europe and Globalisation at Lancaster University. This will provide you with an outstanding intellectual environment that supports you in proceeding successfully with your individual research project.

Please visit the University of Siegen website for more information. A student profile of a current participant on the programme, Ulrike Zschache, can be found on the university's news page.

Please note this programme is run in English, i.e. German language knowledge is not a requirement!

How to Apply

You will need a good MA degree and be interested in researching a topic which is directly related to Europe and Globalisation. The deadline for submitting research proposals for a start in October 2011 is 15 June 2011.

Please send your project outline of 3000 words, including a section on potential ethical issues, plus a time schedule over the period of three years and your CV to Ms Maria Frindte.

Publications

Read the latest edition of The Sociologist - a postgraduate newsletter published by the Department.
