Courses from the (Research) Masters Social Sciences  

The agreement between AISSR and GSSS regarding the participation of AISSR PhD in GSSS Master courses:

• AISSR PhDs may participate in selected courses in all three GSSS Research Master programs and in the one-year Master programs
• Once or twice a year AISSR will distribute a list of the courses that are open for PhDs (poster below)
• To participate in a GSSS course, a SIS registration is mandatory. If you have not yet requested permission to apply for a doctorate degree, please contact your department secretariat ASAP
• Master students have priority, i.e. if courses are full PhD students may not be able to participate
• The participation of AISSR PhDs in Research Master courses is “free”. PhD students external to the AISSR do have to pay (contractonderwijs)
• PhDs have to participate fully, i.e. also complete attendance requirements and are not allowed to “audit” Master courses

If you would like to participate in a GSSS Master course, please discuss this with your supervisor and to sign up, contact the AISSR secretariat, aissr@uva.nl.

Other Course Options    

PhD candidates may also follow courses that are offered by other research schools (e.g. Nethur/CERES). These should also be registered in the PhD Trajectory Plan. There may be costs involved, so please get approval of your supervisors on forehand.
