Admission to Doctoral Studies in the Humanities
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Tartu is the most diverse and internationally well-known centre for research in the Humanities in Estonia. This diversity is further fostered by the faculty's admissions procedure: you can suggest your own research topic when you apply and conduct research that is of interest to you, provided you find a suitable supervisor at your institute.
Doctoral studies at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities will grant you a unique scientific understanding of human nature as you investigate how we conceptualise, create and communicate the world around us. A doctoral degree in Humanities not only entails theoretical knowledge, but will also equip you with the skills necessary in a society where it is becoming increasingly important to understand human behaviour in cultural context.
Doctoral studies in the humanities offer an opportunity to explore, independently or in a research group, human actions and creations expressed through our language and culture, everything unique created by the human spirit. Humanities scholars value academic freedom and the opportunity to ponder the big questions and main values of life.
The Doctoral programme in Humanities combines 22 specialities coordinated by the Institutes of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities.
Institute of History and Archaeology (Archaeology, Art history, History)
Institute of Estonian and General Linguistics (Linguistics, Finno-Ugric Studies)
Institute of Philosophy and Semiotics (Philosophy, Semiotics and Culture Studies)
Institute of Cultural Research (Estonian Literature, Comparative Literature, Theatre Studies, Fokloristics, Ethnology )
Institute of Foreign Languages and Cultures (English, French, Spanish, German, Scandinavian Language and Literature, Classical Philology, Translation Studies )
School of Theology and Religious Studies (Religious Studies, Theology)
Admission requirements for the programme
Structure of the programme
At the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, the main intake is in May. Learn more about the application process, necessary documents, and application deadlines on the admissions main page.
There are several ways to complete a doctoral program. Generally, a doctoral student is both a junior researcher and a student, and after the admission decision, an employment contract is concluded with them. The conditions of the study place are specified in the competition information. Read more about the career path options for a doctoral student.
