PhD in Development Studies

Development Studies is a doctoral programme in the Faculty of Sociology, Anthropology and Folkloristics at the University of Iceland. It is a research-oriented study lasting three years. Students complete 210 ECTS in total, and a doctoral dissertation of 180 ECTS forms the main part of that workload. The balance of the credits is set out in the programme structure that the page links to. The entry requirement is a master's degree with first-class grades, or an equivalent qualification; the introductory text describes this as an MA degree with honours. Enquiries go to the school's student and teaching service office. The page also links to information on the programme structure, admission requirements, the application process, and general services for students such as the international division, exchange studies and student counselling and career centre.
