In order to promote a training experience that is as open and international as possible, doctoral candidates are required to spend at least six months abroad during their three-year programme.
Additionally, candidates are offered the opportunity to undertake periods of study and establish co-supervision agreements with colleagues collaborating with the Faculty in various universities and international 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.
