PhD students from partner institutions: Research Qualification
Many PhD students are directly hired for a specific research project and did not complete a research master program before starting PhD research. A concise set of research master courses gives these PhD students the opportunity to acquire additional and necessary knowledge and skills. Students who complete the educational program qualify for the BDS Research Qualification. More information can be found on here and on the Intranet.
BDS Research Master Graduates
BDS research master graduates working as PhD students at one of the partner institutions are most welcome to participate in additional field courses during the later years of their studies. Please register for courses by sending an email courses@businessdatascience.nl. No fees will be charged for PhD students who graduated from the BDS research master program.
PhD students not affiliated to BDS partners
Under certain conditions and subject to approval by the Director of Graduate Studies, PhD students not affiliated to one of the partners are welcome to attend courses. External applicants will be admitted if they meet some equivalent of the course entrance criteria. Capacity restrictions apply to all courses, and are particularly relevant for core courses. External PhD students should register for all courses they would like to attend by filling out the registration form. Course fee is 1.500 euro per course.
