It is again with pride and joy that we present our PhD course guide for the academic year 2019/2020.

Two weeks ago, on Tuesday May 21st our university launched a new service: Hora Finita.
This service offers our PhD candidates the opportunity to get and keep full control over their trajectories. At your faculty we implement the service gradually, starting with the registration and graduation modules and in time followed by the monitoring service.

The annual report gives an overview of the Graduate School's activities and course evaluations in 2018. In addition, it describes the goals for the coming year(s). The annual report includes an interview with postdoc researcher Talitha Stam, who won the PhD Excellence Award for Best Impact 2018.

The NWO Domain Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) encourages excellent research in the research areas of the social sciences and the humanities. Various funding instruments are available to this end. The results from this research benefit science, as well as societal organisations, the cultural sector and industry.
