Please see https://flores.unu.edu/en/education/phd-program for current information.
All coursework is science-based, and all courses require basic knowledge in physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics at an undergraduate level. In addition, the courses also require basic knowledge in the social sciences. Courses are offered by academic staff at both universities. In line with the research agenda of UNU-FLORES and a matching research agenda of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, research topics for PhD dissertations are focused on solving current challenges related to the Resource Nexus.
PhD students will have the opportunity to participate in various international events (e.g., workshops, conferences) organised by UNU-FLORES and/or partners, as well as internal events and meetings (e.g., academic seminars, Nexus seminars, PhD symposium, developing research proposals).
