Activities

In addition to the modules offered within the doctoral course programme we offer supplementary classes to enhance the PhD experience and provide a kick-start for an academic career. The supplementary classes include research workshops with international guest researchers, PhD conferences involving intensive writing workshops, and a mentoring programme. Our goal is to train doctoral students for research positions at leading universities or advanced research careers in consulting, government or industry. The doctoral students learn to advance theory, develop scientifically sound research designs, and publish their research in international top-tier journals.
