“The journey not only broadens the mind, it shapes the mind.” Bruce Chatwin

Undertaking a research period abroad as part of the doctoral training is a requirement to qualify for the distinction of International PhD and it is a key aspect for the training and growth of future researchers.

Excellent and international training are priorities for our PhD program. Research stays of our students are fundamental to fostering connections and reaching these goals.
