Successful candidates will study at the Centre for Global Learning (GLEA), part of Coventry University, UK, and participate in a co-supervision PhD program (cotutelle) at Aarhus University, with support from professors and lecturers from both universities. The minimum and maximum duration of work in Denmark is 12 months, and the maximum is 18 months, at the Centre for Higher Education Futures (CHEF), Aarhus University.
The program is part of a research project with the theme: “Social Imagination and International Collaborative PhD Programs in Denmark: Benefits for Stakeholders"
Details:
The global economy, the constantly changing nature of knowledge production, research funding mechanisms, and the job market for PhD holders are all factors driving increasing interest in the International Collaborative Doctoral Program (ICDP) in the UK and Denmark.
The ICDP program calls for negotiating new transnational training programs, transforming the landscape of funding projects, bridging the gap between national doctoral training regulations and university implementation, building international oversight capacity and new graduate-level learning ecosystems, providing learners with access to new facilities and resources, and offering numerous ways to (re)orient scientific research topics to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
From a critical realist perspective, this doctoral training project focuses primarily on international collaborative doctoral training as a policy, a practice, and an object of knowledge requiring research. The program focuses on exploring the social imagination of stakeholders involved in this training program at the international/national, institutional, and individual learner levels. In this context, each individual's "imagination" (or expectation) is social in nature, as it is constructed from society and has social (and potentially material) impacts.
The complexity of social imagination at multiple levels and in various contexts presents challenges in conceptualizing and implementing the ICDP. The lack of consensus on the definition of the ICDP and the absence of precise data make comparisons difficult and fuel debates worldwide.
The full scholarship will cover the following expenses:
