Program details

Overview

Graduates of earlier university-level or second-cycle studies in a range of fields are the target group for this doctoral programme, which offers a deeper look at karst as an integrated body of sciences and prepares people to work as karst researchers or managers. It begins with a broad grounding covering geology, surface and underground features and water, then lets each candidate focus on a personal interest, for instance exploiting and safeguarding karst water resources. It is aimed at science students and those in neighbouring subjects such as geography who performed well and want to do research, as well as managers and educators wanting greater familiarity with karst. In January 2017 the university's Senate lengthened it from three years to four. The page also mentions the appointment of Slovenia's first UNESCO Chair at the University of Nova Gorica. The award is a Doctoral diploma, with the title Doctor of Philosophy.
