Each year, ERIM offers a wide range of doctoral courses designed for PhD candidates. As an ERIM PhD candidate, you can register directly via Osiris Student using your EUR student account.
Non-ERIM participants: Many courses are open to candidates from other doctoral programmes at the PhD or Research Master level. These courses may have entry requirements or enrolment limitations:
Fee: €260 per ECTS credit
Free participation: Available for PhD candidates from Amsterdam Business School (University of Amsterdam) and Amsterdam Business Research Institute (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
If you have attended an ERIM course before, you already have an EUR student account. If not, you will need to create one to complete enrolment.
Registration deadline: 10 working days before the course starts
Cancellation deadline: Up to five working days before the first session
