PhD-cursussen 2026

Veel promovendi in de criminologie werken op de grens van verschillende disciplines: sociale wetenschappen, geesteswetenschappen en zelfs natuurwetenschappen. Over verschillende instellingen heen hebben ze gemeenschappelijke behoeften en interesses. Door de krachten te bundelen, verbreden we hun opleidingsmogelijkheden. Daarom organiseren de criminologieafdelingen van de Universiteit Leiden, de Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, de Erasmus Universiteit, de Universiteit Utrecht en het NSCR vanaf 2024 op maat gemaakte PhD-cursussen voor toekomstige criminologen. Ons aanvullende doel is om de community van promovendi te versterken.
