The Doctoral Support Program (DSP) is available to graduate students registered in an accredited PhD program at another institution of higher education. During their time at CEU, students receive consultation and supervision our faculty and possibilities for presenting and discussing their work.
Students who wish to benefit from the University's innovative programs, international faculty, and resources to assist the development of their dissertation. Such students may apply to spend between one month and one academic year at CEU and are eligible to apply for a full waiver of the tuition fee. There is no requirement to attend classes, but DSP students are encouraged to interact with fellow students and faculty.
DSP students may apply throughout the academic year on a rolling basis. In addition to the standard application requirements, please submit
- a certificate of enrolment from the home institution,
- a three to five-page description of the doctoral thesis including research questions, theory and methodology, as well as the current status of the project
- a one to two-page research proposal; and a letter of support from their doctoral supervisor.
Before submitting an application, DSP candidates are advised to contact Margaretha Boockmann, PhD Coordinator for Historical Studies.
