Centre for Doctoral Studies in Humanities

The Centre for Doctoral Studies in Humanities is part of the Faculty of Humanities. The faculty’s doctoral programme combines 22 specialities coordinated by the Institute of History and Archaeology, the Institute of Estonian and General Linguistics, the Institute of Philosophy and Semiotics, the Institute of Cultural Research, the School of Theology and Religious Studies, and the Institute of Foreign Languages and Cultures.

The centre ensures the conduct of doctoral studies in the faculty in compliance with the regulations in force. In addition to ensuring a smooth exchange of information, the centre helps by counselling doctoral researchers and supervisors on the organisation of doctoral studies and by assisting with funding and the selection of courses and training opportunities.

From January 1, 2024, the Estonian Doctoral School for Humanities and Arts provides doctoral researchers and their supervisors with events such as writing retreats, training, seminars, and workshops. Additionally, the Doctoral School offers short-term mobility for doctoral researchers.
