ABOUT THE DANISH PH.D. SCHOOL IN ARCHAEOLOGY
The profile and objectives of the School
Archaeology has always been one of Denmark's strong
humanistic disciplines. As an academic discipline archaeology has to a large
extent been developed in Denmark or by Danish researchers. The Danish Ph.D.
School in Archaeology is a partnership between archaeological environments in
Denmark at the National Museum of Denmark and the universities in Aarhus and
Copenhagen, and its aim is to reinforce the Ph.D. programmes in various ways:
by contributing to developing shared methodological and theoretical approaches
across the traditional boundaries between the various disciplines in archaeology
(prehistoric, classical, medieval and Near Eastern archaeology) and between
the university and museum environments; by strengthening international contacts;
and, furthermore, by increasing the volume and scope of the programmes, systematising
the courses, and creating larger environments and broader networks. Another
crucial point of the Ph.D. School is to contribute to further internationalising
the disciplines and to reinforcing our competitive capacity in the midst of
rapidly growing globalisation and the resultant increasingly open international
market of education. The establishment of the Danish Ph.D. School in Archaeology
of course does not indicate a desire to set aside interdisciplinarity; as is
evident from the course descriptions, this will continue to be a manifest element
of the Ph.D. programme offered by the School.
The Danish Ph.D. School in Archaeology is financed by the Danish Research Agency.
