Subject: Language Acquisition: PhD, Stockholm University, Sweden

 Institution/Organization: Stockholm University 
Department: Department of Romance Studies and Classics 
Web Address: http://www.su.se/romklass 

Level: PhD 

Duties: Research
 
Specialty Areas: Language Acquisition 
 

Description:

The Department of Romance Studies and Classics at the Faculty of Humanities
has about 70 employees and around 1,000 students per year. The main research
areas are Literature Research, Romance Linguistics and Second Language
Acquisition. Find more information at our research.

As a PhD student you have the opportunity of participating in the Faculty's
Doctoral School, offering themes and courses characterized by
interdisciplinarity and cooperation across subject borders.

Project Description:
The doctoral dissertation must be carried out within the Romance languages for
which we offer education at research level, namely French, Italian, Portuguese
and Spanish (literature or linguistics). It is also possible to choose Romance
languages general orientation. See our post graduate education.

Qualification Requirements:
In order to meet the general entry requirements, the applicant must have
completed a second-cycle degree and courses equivalent to at least 240 higher
education credits (hp), 60 hp of which must be in the second cycle, or
otherwise acquired equivalent knowledge in Sweden or elsewhere.

In order to meet the specific entry requirements, the general syllabus for
doctoral studies in Romance Languages stipulates that applicants must have:
– Passed advanced level courses of at least 30 hp in French, Italian, Spanish
or Portuguese including a degree project of at least 15 hp.
– Knowledge of English equivalent to the level of English 6 in the Swedish
school system (this does not apply to students who have undergone university
education where English is an entry requirement).

The same conditions of admission have to be fulfilled by applicants who have
equivalent skills and degrees from another country, and requirements must be
met by the deadline for application.

Selection:
The primary assessment criteria will be the capacity for benefitting from the
PhD programme in Romance Languages. Selection among eligible candidates will
be based on the following: 
- Education: Assessment of both depth and breadth of previous education.
- Scientific Production: The assessment takes into consideration the aspect of
time, i.e. to what extent the applicant has shown ability to meet previous
scientific obligations within given time constraints. In addition, the
scientific progress is considered. Based on a Bachelor’s thesis, a Master’s
thesis or other academic papers, the ability of the applicant to benefit from
the education is considered according to critical ability, analytical ability,
creativity and independence.
- Research Plan: A research plan should be enclosed which covers the research
problem and an outline of the research project. The research plan is assessed
according to relevance, originality and completion within given time
constraints (full-time work during a four-year period of doctoral studies).
- Available competence among supervisors.
- Ability to collaborate. The ability of the applicant to be collaborative is
determined by personal references, certificates or interviews.

Please also consult local admissions regulations for the Department of Romance
Studies and Classics at post graduate education.
