We welcome you to the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities (EGSH). We host over 500 PhD candicates at our lively, spacious campuses in the cosmopolitan cities of Rotterdam and The Hague.
We offer dozens of courses to nurture innovative and interdisciplinary research excellence. The diverse international backgrounds of our candidates enhance a vibrant academic community.
The EGSH is a joint venture of:
We invite our PhD candidates to submit their work or nominate their favourite supervisor, PhD colleague or EGSH lecturer for the 2023 EGSH Awards for PhD Excellence!
The deadline for submission is Friday 19 January 2024.
Last September we sent out a poll asking our academic community whether they would prefer to keep or abolish cum laude graduation for PhD candidates. The results are now available.
This Thursday 9 November at 16.00 hrs, prof. dr. Opic of the university of Zagreb will give an online guest lecture titled:
“Science as the most beautiful fairytale ever spoken”
As by request by our PhD council at the start of the year, we first launched all courses running up until February. We are happy to inform you that as of now the registration for courses starting up until 1 May 2024 are now open! We’ve decided to try out this approach to give PhD candidates who start later in the year also a fair chance to join our courses. The last batch of courses for this academic year will open mid-December 2023.
Join the conversation with ESSB dean prof. dr. Victor Bekkers on the subject 'How can we recognise and reward your talents better?' on Tuesday 7 November 2023!
