Hello elady-ga,
What an interesting research project. It gave me an opportunity to
take a tour of Europe. I was gratified to find that there are several
international Ph.D. programs that should satisfy your requirements.
I’ve included the basic information for all the schools and programs I
found and the links that will take you to each university’s Web site
for greater detail. Most of them seem to have detailed information
about most of the topics you’re interested in and give you contact
information to be able to fill in the missing pieces.
I trust that this research will give you the answers you need. Please
ask for clarification if anything is confusing. Good luck for your
academic career.
