The doctoral programme prepares researchers for developing and defending a thesis. Every year, 160 research grants are awarded by the EU Member States and other European national authorities to successful candidates. The 1st year of the programme is devoted to acquiring a solid background for the doctoral work and to the design of the proposed research. The second and third years are dedicated to research, field work, data collection and writing of the thesis under close supervision. The fourth year is dedicated to finishing and defending the thesis, and part of the year may be used for professional or university traineeship, and teaching opportunities. A Ph.D. from the European University Institute is an internationally recognised qualification.
