Admissions
Curriculum
The application is examined by relevant academics (including the recommended prospective supervisor) who evaluate the application and propose to the General Assembly of the School. The latter is the official body which will decide on the application’s acceptance or rejection. In case of acceptance, the applicant is enrolled with the School as a PhD student and the main supervisor is allocated.
The main supervisor is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of the PhD progress and specific academic guidance on the topic, direction of research and the structure of the thesis. The supervision is also supported by another two academic members with expertise in the specific area of research and all together form the three-member Advisory Committee. The two members of the advisory team are chosen in consultation with the main supervisor as having interests and expertise relevant to the topic of the research. Where appropriate they may be drawn from other schools or Universities in Greece or abroad.
The PhD students, based upon the supervisor’s recommendation, may be required to undertake certain courses in Research Methodology or other subjects and attend relevant seminars provided by the University.
The duration for obtaining the Doctorate Degree is at least three (3) full calendar years from the date of appointment of the three-member Advisory Committee. The maximum time for submitting the doctoral thesis for VIVA (a formal oral examination of the PhD candidate by a panel of experts for answering questions regarding the thesis and the research area) is set at six (6) full calendar years from the date of appointment of the three-Member Advisory Committee.
The results of PhD-level research are published in leading conferences and academic journals in the related field.
Doctorates from the Department of School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Economics pursue careers in universities or research centres in Greece and abroad or participate in research/business and other departments of companies and organizations around the world.
