Doctoral Programme
The NCCR LIVES proposes a Doctoral Programme intended in the first instance for doctoral students in social science and psychology who include life course issues in their work. The Doctoral Programme aims to provide courses of study leading to high-quality doctorates within a reasonable period of time and to facilitate the professional integration of doctoral students in academic and other careers.
The LIVES Doctoral Programme is organised over a period of four academic years, due to the six or seven modules each year. Four topics are addressed:
- Theories and concepts in life course analysis
- Scientific research skills
- Research practices and professions
- Gender and sciences
Each year "Doctoriales" are being organised, which are an opportunity for all PhD candidates within the Doctoral Programme to present their work in front of LIVES members and external experts.
