They are well-equipped to work in the academia as researchers or university employees. Given the international dimension of their schooling, they have prerequisites for working abroad. Their firm theoretical and methodological background makes them ideal candidates for interdisciplinary research. Outside the academia, their professional formation allows them to work in the sectors of tourism, diplomacy or translation.

  • Practical Training

    A stay at a foreign scholarly institution which enable the students to widen their theoretical and practical portfolios forms an obligatory/integral part of the educational process, to obtain international experience and contacts.

  • Goals of Theses

    Standard scope of a PhD thesis ranges from 220.000 to 360.000 characters including footnotes, cover sheet, index, content, literature and annotations. PhD thesis showcases the results of an independent empirical research and produces new knowledge and impulses to the field.
