Society faces major problems such as unemployment, climate change and refugees. Solving such problems requires people with extensive knowledge combined with the creativity needed to think in new ways. PhD studies will provide you with these tools.

You will acquire the breadth of knowledge and the skills which go with the subject in general. PhD studies mean that you will work on a research project independently under supervision. You will use and improve both your practical and theoretical skills.
