DGÜD   Ph.D. School


A European PhD Prep School for T&I Doctoral Candidates

In conjunction with the conference series (2002-2004) a PhD Prep School is offered for T&I students.

General Information

Due to the discipline's strong practical roots and the ensuing lack of research tradition and standards, T&I students are usually less well equipped to handle research, especially with respect to:

  • the methodology of writing a dissertation
  • critical reading and thinking
  • preparing a 'state of the art' analysis
  • developing logical thought
  • introduction into a variety of research methods

The European PhD Prep School - taught by leading European T&I researchers - is designed to offset these deficits by offering tailor-made PhD courses for T&I candidates in the above areas. They are designed and supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Übersetzungs- und Dolmetschwissenschaft (DGÜD) and co-financed by the European Union within the concept of the high level scientific conferences, where they are usually offered on the day preceding the conference event. Information on financial support is available through http://www.euroconferences.info. The DGÜD PhD prep school schedule is available through T&I Portfolios.
