Graduate degree studies may be expanded <strong>in</strong>to a doctoral study<br />

programme (dr. scient., dr.art., dr. polit., etc.) over a three to four-year study period. Admissi<strong>on</strong> is very competitive and<br />

presupposes <strong>the</strong> successful submissi<strong>on</strong> of an applicati<strong>on</strong> and a project outl<strong>in</strong>e. The doctoral programme is essentially a<br />

research tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g programme. In additi<strong>on</strong> to complet<strong>in</strong>g a doctoral <strong>the</strong>sis under supervisi<strong>on</strong>, <strong>the</strong> candidate has to undergo<br />

compulsory tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> scientific <strong>the</strong>ory and method. There is also a ‘traditi<strong>on</strong>al’ doctoral degree, doctor philosophiae<br />

(dr.philos.) with no special study programme, but with very high requirements for <strong>the</strong> doctoral <strong>the</strong>sis. The two doctoral<br />

degrees have <strong>the</strong> same academic level.
