To foster an open and truly international doctoral experience, PhD students must spend at least six months abroad during the three-year programme.
PhD students may also undertake study periods and establish co-tutelle (co-supervision) agreements with colleagues affiliated with the Doctoral Board at a number of international universities and research centres.
Particular emphasis is placed on collaborations within the Academy of Global Humanities and Critical Theory, established at the Department of History, Cultures, and Civilisations in partnership with the University of Virginia and Duke University. Furthermore, opportunities within the European network (Marie Curie) entitled "Transnational Labour Mobility in a Globalising World" are noteworthy, along with forms of collaboration in doctoral training with German universities and/or institutions, such as the Deutsches Historisches Institut in Rome and the University of Bielefeld.
