Programme structure

in

The PhD Programme on "Technology Assessment" is organised over a 4 year structure, and the training courses take place during the first 2 years, although during that period is supposed to start the research process leading to the final thesis.

Students who achieve distinction in their coursework are invited to prepare a PhD proposal, which includes the identification of a topic, discussion of methodological issues relating to the research, and where appropriate, a discussion of the data resources to be used or developed. The proposal also identifies further areas of formal (class work and workshops) and informal study to be pursued in the course of dissertation research and writing. The PhD proposed plan will approved in the first year, and discussed and re-evaluated after a public discussion of a more developed proposal.
