The Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of the NOVA University and the Universidade Aberta jointly offer a PhD Programme in Medieval Studies, taught via e-learning, with a brief on site component (a week of intensive study).
In the Programme the interdisciplinary training assumes a central role and the thesis will compulsorily have to be developed in two different areas of specialisation.
Candidates must have knowledge of Portuguese (mainly reading skills), although the activities within the PhD programme (participation in discussions, reports and seminar papers) may be delivered in Spanish, French or English.
