Research training for Nihes PhD candidates
Are you a PhD candidate working at one of the institutes participating in or affiliated with the Netherlands Institute for Health Sciences? And would you like to enroll in our research training?
If you can answer both questions with yes, then take a look at our Master of Science programmes for Master graduates and health professionals (70 ECTS). You will be able to use your PhD research project to meet the research qualifications required by Nihes (one scientific paper that is ready for submission) while simultaneously working towards a Master of Science degree in the discipline of your choice.(*)
