Program description
Our researchers study the important problems of our time that social science can uniquely solve with a Ph.D. opportunities in politics and comparative politics, political theory, international relations, and sociology.
Our active faculty and Ph.D. researchers and post-doctoral scholars, creating a stimulating environment for learning. By covering key areas across the political and social sciences within one department, we enable interdisciplinary research conversations, meaning that ideas and research findings are easily shared and further debated.
While our experienced staff offers intensive supervision, you also have academic freedom and time for your own independent research. In addition, our researchers benefit from interacting with academics, practitioners and other leaders in their fields who are regular visitors to our Section and can offer their advice and insights on your work.
It is not EUI’s policy to offer individual guidance and advice on dissertation proposals. You should contact potential supervisors, read the information on research topics on this page, and indicate three professors who can supervise your dissertation on the application form.
