If you wish to start your PhD as a self-funded candidate (i.e. all PhD candidates who do not receive a salary from the Faculty of Humanities--so including people who receive a grant which is paid to them directly, as well as candidates that are 'matched' by their job to do research), the first thing to do is to choose one of our research schools that suits your specialism. As the Faculty of Humanities is an interdisciplinary research faculty, there are six research schools to choose from.
The next step is to find two supervisors who are willing to supervise your research. Each research school lists its academic staff on its website. and candidates are required to find their own supervisors. The coordinator of the chosen research school may be able to assist you with selecting suitable supervisors, and can answer practical questions. Please note that at least one supervisor should have the ius promovendi (the right to act as first supervisor to PhD candidates); all full professors and some associate professors hold this right.
