PhD Courses

The LNMB offers a PhD program as a biennial program. Each academic year nine PhD courses are taught in three trimesters, each having a duration of 10 weeks. Within the first 9 weeks of a trimetser one lecture for each course is given; the last week can be used if a lecture has to be cancelled in the first 9 weeks.

This representative attends the board meetings of the LNMB and can be contacted if you have problems regarding the PhD courses or suggestions regarding other matters concerning the PhD students of the LNMB. The current PhD representative is Pieter Kleer (CWI), P.S.Kleer@cwi.nl
