PhD in History and Civilization

Department of History and Civilization

The mission of the Department of History and Civilization is the study of European history from the Renaissance to the present day, recognizing that the issue of Europe's frontiers over time remains an open subject, just as the construction of the European idea, or ideas, remains contested. Another crucial dimension of Europe's history is represented by its relations with the world's other regions and cultures.

The Department's approach to the history of Europe is defined by intellectual openness. The Department strongly encourages comparative and transnational studies of cultural and economic trends, social, political and intellectual movements and traditions. One of the Department's main assets is the encounter between various historiographical and methodological approaches. The aim of the Department is to capture the range of contradictions, specificities, continuities and discontinuities that characterize Europe's past in a global perspective.

• Leading European institution for postgraduate studies in history and civilization
• European research focus, cosmopolitan ambiance, cultural and linguistic diversity
• European History from the Renaissance to European Union: social and  economic, cultural and intellectual, political history
• Focus on comparative and transnational history
• Four year funded PhD places
• First-class library and data access
• Extensive computing facilities
• Career development
• Language courses
• Housing informations
• Post-doc fellowships

DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS: 31 JANUARY OF EACH YEAR
