PhD 3 - Year 3 of the Online, Distance Learning, PhD in Human Rights

FOCUSING

The risk of the third year of a PhD is not so much to give up as to spread out. Because of the work done, the horizon opens up to many interesting fields of research. It is therefore important to concentrate on one's subject and not to waste time travelling different roads at the same time. All research is limited and one must aim at the conclusion of the work without neglecting the energy necessary for the finishing touches.

THE PHD DISSERTATION ORAL DEFENSE

At the end of the third year of the PhD studies, it is possible to defend the dissertation. To do so, the accompanying committee, meaning the director and the two readers designated by the Board of Studies, must have accepted the submission. Only then is a date given for the public defense of the dissertation.
