forthcoming discipline specific VLAG courses

The graduate school organises a large number of discipline- specific advanced courses. Topics covered by these courses are areas of particular interest to the research groups within VLAG. Some courses are given annually, but most courses are organised every two or three years. These courses are open to VLAG PhD students and external participants. All courses are given in English.

Information about the VLAG PhD week (introductory course) can be found at http://www.vlaggraduateschool.nl/phd-week/.
