Study Load

In order to achieve the objectives of the NETHUR education programme and receive a NETHUR diploma, all regular PhD students are expected to participate in 900 hours of education. The NETHUR curriculum consists of a mandatory and an optional part. All PhD members must attend the NETHUR core courses in the first two years and two NETHUR Schools. The remaining hours are spent on optional courses, workshop, seminars, conferences, et cetera, and on supervision.

Other courses or schools may replace NETHUR courses or schools when approved (in advance for courses) by the Director of Education.

PhD members, who completed postgraduate education elsewhere before being admitted to NETHUR, may be exempted from parts of the curriculum, if approved by the Director of Education.
