Graduate School training

The Donders Graduate School provides a tailor-made training programme at the highest international level. The first step is to set up a Training and Supervision Plan (TSP) with the aim of developing both research and personal skills. Regular meetings, so-called checkpoints, are scheduled to reflect on the project so far and to discuss the wishes for the future. Part of your job as a PhD candidate is to follow courses to help you in your development towards becoming a PhD. The Donders Graduate School offers several courses that we consider important for your development, in addition to the courses offered at the central level of the Radboud University and Radboudumc.
