Doctoral Programme in Humanities

The humanities programme of the Doctoral School in Humanities and Social Sciences gathers doctoral research in languages and literatures, history, linguistics, music and philosophy. Disciplines represented include English, German, Luxembourgish and Romance studies, which makes the programme a natural home for comparative and multilingual projects. Applicants need a level 7 master's in the humanities or a related area and must show solid English as well as a high level in the language of the thesis. The working languages are English, French, German and Luxembourgish. The suggested first step is to write to potential supervisors to discuss research interests, followed by submission of a detailed project description, a CV and a motivation letter. Doctoral work usually takes three to four years, and candidates may be admitted at any point during the year.
