The Doctorate in African Studies trains researchers, teachers, and professionals across various fields to analyze Africa's social, economic, and political realities and its relationship with the world.

The Ph.D. program takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore critical global issues centered on a region of growing importance in the international system. Students gain analytical and problem-solving skills while deepening their methodological tools and knowledge on various subject areas throughout the program in a vibrant academic environment in conjunction with the Center for International Studies (CEI-Iscte).

 

In the 1st year of the program, the course offers advanced training in African Studies focusing on methodological approaches for five weeks per semester (November/December 2022 and February/March 2023). Students prepare their individual research projects in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years, accompanied by a research project seminar. In addition to the teaching component, the doctorate organizes a series of conferences in African Studies in conjunction with the Master in African Studies, which complements the various academic seminars and events organized at Iscte. 

A merit-based scholarship may be awarded to candidates for this course.
