The
first year of the structured programme is devoted to intensive course work and
on the development of the doctoral thesis project. The second year is given
over to empirical work, including field work. In the third year the primary aim
is the successful completion of the doctoral thesis. In individual cases, this
basic schedule may vary according to the specific needs of the candidate. Workshops
(for example on quantitative and qualitative methods) as well as summer schools
and international events offer opportunities to acquire special skills and
general competencies. The interdisciplinary composition of the group, the
support provided by DLGS partners as well as possible research visits abroad
enable graduates to rapidly complete innovative doctorates.
