PhD and Internship Programmes
UNU-EHS research works towards forming a policy institute devoted to developing capacity and giving advice to strategy and decision makers. An integral part of the UNU-EHS is the inclusion of young scientists within its research.
The Ph.D. Programme at UNU-EHS is open to individuals interested in working on the global issues of disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. In particular, the programme targets those from developing countries who will apply their newly acquired knowledge and skills to the situations in their home countries. The UNU-EHS does not grant degrees to Ph.D. Researchers or operate according to a conventional semester calendar. Rather, the Ph.D. Researchers at UNU-EHS apply and work within different projects, ideally fulfilling with their respective Ph.D. thesis the project goals.
Ph.D. opportunities are advertised on an open call basis only and scholarship opportunities are exclusively available within the advertised projects. The UNU does not offer tuition in a conventional fashion, nor does it grant PhD scholarships on a regular basis.
Please contact the academic officer of your interest section for more information.
