Current Courses

All PhDs have to draw up their own personal training programme in consultation with their PhD supervisor as part of their PhD Trajectory Plan. Together, they decide which courses the PhD should take, depending on their previous training. PhDs should follow (or have followed) sufficient training in Methods, Disciplinary and Interdisciplinary Theory (equal to 30 ECTS). Which courses are relevant for you depends on your PhD trajectory and the programme group in which you are involved.
