PhDs should follow (or have followed in the past) sufficient training in Methods, Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Theory. We advise PhDs to follow a training programme of approximately 30 ECTS in total throughout the whole trajectory. Which courses are relevant for you depends on your PhD trajectory and the programme group in which you are involved.
