South-East European Research Centre (SEERC)

At SEERC there are currently two possibilities for a PhD degree jointly supervised by academic staff at Sheffield and CITY:

A) Full Time programme: The duration (normally) is 3 years and it requires full time commitment on the part of the PhD student, which means that one would have to be physically present at SEERC premises located in Thessaloniki. Part of the PhD programme involves the Research Training Programme (RTP) modules, where the PhD student undertakes modules for training in research methods.

B) Part Time programme: with duration from 6 to 8 years (normally). To be eligible for a part-time PhD the candidate should be able to prove significant experience in their selected field. In this case, the PhD student has the obligation of a minimum of one visit to Thessaloniki annually for supervision purposes (both with the CITY and Sheffield supervisor). All other communication with supervisors occurs via e-mail and telephone.

We accept proposals from qualified students, either for Part-time or Full-time study on a tuition paying scheme. For information on tuition fees please send an e-mail at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
