    Understanding Written Artefacts Doctoral Programme

    About

    The doctoral programme is part of the "Understanding Written Artefacts – Material, Interaction and Transmission in Manuscript Cultures" Cluster of Excellence, which seeks to develop a global framework for the study of all written artefacts from the beginning of writing to the present day and from all African, Asian and European regions that have produced such artefacts. Written artefacts are examined in an interdisciplinary setting of a broad range of subjects from the humanities, the natural sciences, computer science, and cognitive psychology (see list below). Research is organised thematically in five research fields – Artefact Profiling, Inscribing Spaces, Creating Originals, Formatting Contents, Archiving Artefacts – as well as the cross-sectional research unit Data Linking. Participating disciplines include: African Languages and Linguistics Ancient History Archaeometry Assyriology Austronesian Studies Biology Chemistry Classical Archaeology Computer Science Coptology Cultural Anthropology Ethiopian Studies Art History Experimental Psychology Finno-Ugrian Studies German Language and Literature Church History Indology / Southeast Asian Studies Iranian Studies Islamic Studies Japanese Studies Jewish Philosophy and Religion Mediaeval and Modern History Mineralogy Musicology Performance Studies Physics Radiology Sinology Southeast Asian History Tamil Studies Thai and Lao Studies Turkish Studies Vietnamese Studies Zoology

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    Academic qualification Applicants must hold a degree (e.g. Master's degree, "Magister", "Diplom", state exam) from a university or equivalent higher education institution in one of the academic disciplines represented in the "Understanding Written Artefacts" Cluster. The performance in the subject that is to become the discipline of doctoral study has to be above average (at least "good" in the German system or equivalent). Only doctoral subjects from the Faculty of Humanities or the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences at Universität Hamburg can be chosen. Fast-track option Exceptionally qualified applicants can enter the doctoral programme directly with only a Bachelor's degree (that is materially relevant to the dissertation project). The corresponding Master's degree and the doctoral degree are then pursued at the same time.
