Joint PhD Programme in Diversity Management and Governance

Graduates of master studies or equivalent from the following fields can apply and can be admitted: Law, Economics, Social Sciences (Political Sciences, Sociology, Political Geography, Demography, Gender Studies, Psychology), Humanities (History, Philosophy, Linguistics, Cultural Studies). Graduates from other fields of studies can apply and be admitted only in case the completed programme is judged to be suitable content-wise by the university for which the student applies.

Since the language of instruction in the PhD Programme is English, students whose first language is not English must demonstrate a high level of competence in English through the provision of a language certificate. This certificate is not necessary for students who graduated from a study where English was used as the main medium of instruction.

Main admission criteria:
•    - General academic excellence
•    - The research project submitted with the application
•    - High level competence in English

The electronic application documents have to be sent in ONE pdf-document by email to: alexandra.gross@uni-graz.at
