Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Degree Programme
|
Our associate partners are the Universities of Boston (the US), Waseda (Japan) and Fudan (China), along with ITAM (Mexico) and UNU-Cris (the United Nations University in Bruges). This was a hugely prestigious award, given that only two consortiums across the whole of the European Union were funded in the social sciences in the first tranche of money. PaIS is the only social science department anywhere in the UK to have full partner status. |

Successful applicants to the GEM PhD School have the opportunity to join the PaIS PhD programme. GEM stands for ‘Globalisation, the European Union and Multilateralism’, the title of our Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Degree Programme, and we run one of the three strands of the programme called CITRINE. Full details about both GEM and CITRINE are available by following the links embedded in this page. Applicants are encouraged to apply through the CITRINE route to study any PhD topic related to the main theme of the Joint Doctoral Degree Programme in which there are the relevant research specialisms amongst PaIS staff. In general, all PaIS staff are members of one of our three predominant research groupings – International Political Economy, International Politics and Security Studies, and Public Policy and Comparative Political Systems – and applicants will only be selected to hold a CITRINE fellowship if we can offer suitable supervision. The next selection will take place for fellows to begin their PhDs in October 2012, and in all likelihood the selection meeting will be held in February 2012 following a January 16th 2012 deadline for applications. The GEM School website contains all the relevant information about applying, including making it clear that it is necessary to apply directly to the GEM School and not in the first instance to the University of Warwick if you want to be considered for a CITRINE fellowship.

Successful applicants for CITRINE fellowships will be enrolled on our doctoral programme alongside other PaIS PhD students. The only difference in the programmes they will follow is that CITRINE fellows will have nominated one of our full partner institutions – the Free University of Brussels and the Universities of Rome and Geneva – as the host for the second year of their studies. A joint doctorate will eventually be awarded upon successful completion of the PhD from Warwick and whichever of the full partner institutions has been selected. CITRINE fellows will return to PaIS for the third year of their programme to resume their studies alongside other PaIS PhD students, although they do have a further chance to take advantage of Erasmus Mundus mobility options by choosing to take six months of the third year at one of the associate partner institutions. This, however, is not compulsory.
