In 2011, the European Humanities University (EHU) launched a doctoral program in philosophy in partnership with Vytautas Magnus University (Kaunas) and the Lithuanian Culture Research Institute (Vilnius).
EHU’s Doctorate in Philosophy combines the European historical philosophical tradition with a flexible interdisciplinary focus. This allows for an in-depth analysis of the most problematic and burning issues that concern today’s individuals as well as society at large. EHU’s doctoral program provides an opportunity to significantly enhance one’s qualifications, effectively network with the European academic community, defend one’s doctoral dissertation, and earn a doctoral degree (Ph.D. in Philosophy) that is recognized throughout the European Union. A master’s degree (or a more advanced degree) is a prerequisite for prospective students who wish to enroll in the doctoral program. At the moment 7 Ph.D. students are studying in the program.
