The PhD Universa structure

The PhD Program is the equivalent of 3 full-time years of study, but can be taken part-time (maximum 5 years). Students are selected on the basis of their research proposal and academic potential. The students have a PhD Supervisor dedicated to guide their research.

The student can either choose a supervisor from one of the schools, or the Universa PhD can help the student to identify the most suitable supervisor accordingly to the research subject.
