The PhD week program offers introductory and advanced courses in theories of knowledge, research ethics and methods, as well as writer's hours and skills-oriented courses and workshops - and social events.

Welcome to the Faculty of Humanities' PhD Week! The academic program includes the compulsory introductory courses in theories of knowledge and research ethics, and various advanced courses in theories of knowledge, research ethics, and methods. There are also workshops and courses in various researcher skills, writer's hours, and social events.

Registration

The program is designed for PhD candidates and postdocs at HF. Many courses and events are relevant for candidates and PhDs from other institutions, and all courses and activities are open to everyone, but HF's candidates are given priority.

Please do not register for more activities than you have time to prepare for. The PhD Week is organized every semester to ensure that you have several opportunities to participate and enable you to spread out your course work throughout your project period.

Registration for courses opens at 12.00 on 20 February, see individual courses for registration form.

Program 

The titles for all courses is listed in the table. Links to courses will be included when the course websites are ready. 

All courses, workshops, and writer's hours sessions take place in Sophus Bugges hus. Academic courses run from 9-16. Researcher skills training are normally half-day workshops. 

Most of the courses are 1 ECTS credit courses. Credits are not given for writer's hours and only for a few of the skills- and tools oriented courses/workshops.

There will be coffee each morning and lunch every day from 12-13. We will also invite you to social activites a couple of evenings, so save some room in your diaries! A registration form for social activities will be distributed closer to the PhD week.

If you have questions about a particular course, please e-mail the contact person(s) indicated in the course description.
