Status for this year's efforts at the PhD area, Arts
The annual report from the Graduate School, Arts 2013 has now been published, and can be found at the website.
2013 was the year when the Graduate School, Arts (GSA) was finally established as a united PhD school and, thus replaced the three PhD schools that formerly existed within the main academic areas. This year's efforts and the current challenges are summarised in a new annual report from the Graduate School.
After having been through a period of upheaval, both administratively and professionally, the Graduate School has now established itself as a single graduate school, consisting of eight well-functioning PhD programs. In spite of the many challenges, the report clearly states that we enroll and educate students with academic and international impact, who, hopefully, all feel well suited for the possible career paths that lie open to them, once the PhD process has been completed," says Johnny Laursen, Manager of the Graduate School, Arts.
The year gone by
The doctoral programs at GSA are currently divided between eight different PhD programs, which in 2013 made up the framework for more than 30 different research courses, as well as a number of courses in collaboration with Centre for Teaching Development and Digital Media and lots of additional seminars workshops etc.
In 2013 the Graduate School had the pleasure of welcoming 72 new PhD fellows, while 64 was awarded a PhD degree for a wide range of dissertations, dealing with a wide variety of issues within the entire field of cultural science, ranging from "Georg Brandes and the legacy of information' to 'Theory and practice for teacher training – forms of knowledge, culture and body language".
Apart from lists of the ongoing and completed PhD projects, the annual report also includes all the relevant figures regarding the number of students enrolled, financing, average completion times, number of publication, and much more.
