Doctoral studies

The Democritus University of Thrace is a modern and comprehensive Higher Education Institution that encompasses the full range of academic disciplines. Its Schools and Departments serve and advance not only the natural, technological, and applied sciences, but also the social sciences, the humanities, and the health sciences, offering students a rich and multidimensional academic experience.

The University’s primary aim is to foster the holistic development of its students, so that our graduates are well-prepared to meet the challenges of today’s world at local, national, and international levels. They are guided by principles of ethics, social responsibility, and a deep commitment to human rights, justice, freedom, and solidarity.

Doctoral studies at DUTH aim to train new researchers capable of conducting original and independent high-level research that advances a specific field of science. DUTH PhD graduates acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and competencies that enable them to pursue successful careers in Greece or abroad — in higher education institutions, research centres, public and private sector organisations, and businesses.

All matters related to doctoral studies are governed by the applicable legal and institutional framework, as well as the Internal and the Internal Operating Rules of each Doctoral Programme.
