While the overall administrative responsibility for the PhD programme at the Faculty of Social Sciences is located at the faculty level, the departments are responsible for the daily follow-up, and providing their candidates with academic and administrative support. The departments are also responsible for ensuring that their candidates have the necessary facilities available to successfully complete the PhD project within the set timeframe.
