Programme
The introduction days are organised both online and physically. In both forms, you become familiar with doing a PhD at Leiden University: what is expected of you, which facilities and services you can count on and which training courses you have to follow as a PhD student. You will also meet a member of the Executive Board.
We advise you to join the physical day, if you are in the Netherlands. The Academy building in which we meet, the theatre performance and the opportunity to meet fellow PhD students all make this meeting worth the trip to Leiden!
Studyload in Lucris
Participation in the introductory meeting carries a study load/workload of five hours.Your attendance is tracked online and automatically processed in LUCRIS (Converis).
