Academic fields and potential supervisors

All our doctoral candidates belong to a faculty and a doctoral programme. The first step you need to do is to decide the relevant faculty you want to apply for.

Our faculties:
- Faculty of Art and Design
- Faculty of Education
- Faculty of Law
- Faculty of Social Sciences.

In your application, much value is placed on the quality of your research plan. Therefore, it is wise to discuss your plan – and refine it based on feedback – beforehand with a potential supervisor. It is also rather clear that it is advisable to read the supervisor's scholarly work as well.
