Research/PhD
Anyone with a master’s degree can, in principle, apply for a PhD track. The procedure for admission to the PhD track is conducted by means of job applications. Students with a particular interest in an academic career are advised to opt for a research master’s programme, since these programmes explicitly prepare students for research at PhD level.
Information about application and programmes can be found at the Leiden Humanities Gradute School website.
