Program Goals
The program aims to allow outstanding doctoral students studying at the University of Haifa to be enrolled, at the same time, in the international program. Acceptance into the program and participation in the program will provide the student with a variety of benefits: students will become acquainted and make contacts with foreign students in the European community and have access to academic cooperation with professors and researchers in the international community. The students’ doctoral research will also receive exposure in the European community and finally the student will receive a European doctoral degree in addition to the Israeli degree.
General
In the month of May 2009, the University of Haifa signed an agreement promoting academic cooperation between our University and a European doctoral program – namely – The European PhD in Socio-economic and Statistical Studies. The University of Haifa became a full partner in the program allowing doctoral students with an authorized research proposal (research students stage 2) in relevant fields in the University of Haifa to submit their candidacy for acceptance in both the University of Haifa and the European program. If accepted to the European program, the student will be required to spend at least one semester in one of the European Universities affiliated with the program, in the department most relevant to their field of expertise. During this semester, the student will be expected to receive guidance from instructors/scholars at the host department, to actively participate in doctoral seminars and to present their research and if necessary to participate in other frameworks such as research seminars, etc.
