The University of Luxembourg is an international research university with a distinctly multilingual and interdisciplinary character.

The Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences (FHSE) at the University of Luxembourg brings together expertise from the humanities, linguistics, cognitive sciences, social and educational sciences.
People from across 20 disciplines are working within the Faculty. Along with the disciplinary approach a very ambitious interdisciplinary research culture has been developed. The Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences (FHSE) covers a wide range of fields: Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences, Education and Social Work, Geography and Spatial Planning, Humanities and Social Sciences. The faculty’s research and teaching focuses on social, economic, political and educational issues with the common goal of contributing to an inclusive, open and resourceful society. We offer 12 Bachelor and 22 Master degrees and a Doctoral School providing our students with the necessary knowledge and high-qualified skills to succeed in their future career.

Our Doctoral School is well positioned to draw strength from its social and territorial ties. We offer you targeted training programmes in a variety of disciplinary, interdisciplinary and transferrable skills courses to support you in achieving your academic and professional objectives. Our supervisors not only conduct research in different academic fields but are also well connected in Luxembourg and beyond with access to specialist institutional bodies, educational organisations, and private sector sponsors that have robust ties with us through our alumni network. Our graduates often decide to stay in Luxembourg and work in a diverse number of settings, from private sector to academia and international institutions. The range and breadth of networks you will create while with us will sustain you throughout your future professional and academic career.
