Earlier scientific production. On the basis of first-cycle and second-cycle degree projects and other scientific production, the applicant’s capacity for completion is assessed according to critical ability, analytical ability, creativity, independence and scientific diligence. The assessment also takes into account the time aspect, i.e. the extent to which the applicant has demonstrated the ability to complete previous scientific assignments within given time frames. Assessment is also made of the applicant’s academic development from comparison between scientific productions.

Research plan. In conjunction with the application, an account of the intended research area must be given. It must contain formulation of problem(s) and a description of how the research will be conducted. The research plan is assessed based on relevance, originality and feasibility within the given time frames (corresponding to four years full-time studies for a doctoral degree and two years full-time studies for a licentiate degree).

Cooperative ability. The applicant’s cooperative ability is assessed based on references, certificates, interviews etc.

Additional. There are strict requirements regarding applicants ability to adequately express themselves in academic French, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish. Assessment of this is based on previous scientific works.

In the selection of applicants to a third-cycle programme with specialisation in French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish or General orientation the department board considers the regulations of the Faculty of Humanities.
