PhD Courses 2026<\/h1>\n

Many PhD candidates in criminology work on the edges of different disciplines: social sciences, humanities, and even natural sciences. Across different institutions they have common needs and interests. By joining forces, we will broaden their educational opportunities. Therefore, from 2024 onwards, the criminology departments of Leiden University, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Erasmus University, Utrecht University and the NSCR organize tailormade PhD courses for future criminologists. Our additional goal is to strengthen the community of PhD candidates.<\/p>\n
