Ongoing Presentation Seminar
5 credits (= about 140 hours workload)
Objective
The ongoing presentation seminar is an offer that is to ensure that the ph.d. candidates have the chance to present and discuss their research in a helpful pedagogical context and in a way that integrates their projects into the overall research of the faculty. The seminar is also meant to give ph.d. candidates a clear scholarly-social context.
Implementation
The presentation seminar takes place in the form of regular meetings (according to a plan that is announced in advance) that fall into three categories:
- Seminars are gatherings open purely for ph.d. candidates and any invited to respond.
- Guest seminars are gatherings where the ph.d program participates in scholarly seminars with external guests at the Faculty of Theology (within the framework of the scholarly groups or in open seminars).
- Master seminars are arranged in co-operation with one or both scholarly groups at the faculty and consist in a ph.d. candidate in the final phase of their project presenting a central part of their dissertation.
Ongoing presentation seminars are obligatory parts of the ph.d. program at the Faculty of Theology. Parts of the seminar (defined gatherings, see below) can be applied to be taken outside the Faculty of Theology’s ph.d. program should the supervisor advise as much. Every ph.d. candidate has a right to take part in all meetings of the seminar and a duty to attend a minimum of gatherings, according to the following division:
