For PhD students at IRS

Here is a collection of relevant links and information for you as a PhD student or prospective PhD student at the Department of Regional Health Research:

The annuum is no longer awarded along with the faculty scholarship.

Courses offered by the Graduate School of Health Sciences

The graduate programmes at the Faculty of Health Sciences offer a range of graduate courses at the highest international level. Some courses are broad and provide skills that will be useful both within and outside the individual student's particular area of research. Other courses are highly specialized and focus on specific aspects of research (e.g. methodology). Please note that it is up to the course director whether you have passed a course or not, but you must be present in 75% of the time and pass the assignment/exam (if there is one).

IRS thematic days for PhD students, postdocs, and assistant professors

IRS organizes special thematic days twice a year, specifically targeting PhD students, postdocs, and assistant professors. These thematic days cover topics and subjects that can strengthen the young researcher. Additionally, it is a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and create valuable networks.

The thematic days are announced in IRS' calendar.

Printing of the thesis is at the individual's own expense.

Regarding courses:

You can potentially find offerings under the PhD school's courses or through IST - however, please note that these courses may be considered external courses if they are offered by another department.
