An overview of the minimal requirements postulated by the Faculty of Law is shown below.
Fulfilling these requirements is obligatory for all PhD students who started their PhD from September 2013 on.
Exemption from (certain) doctoral school requirements can only be requested within three months after starting the PhD (or within six months if you have a 3 x 2 year contract), by completing this template and submitting it to the doctoral school coordinator.
A digital procedure is used for the acknowledgement of activities within the framework of the minimal requirements, generating an overview of the progress made in your individual doctoral school portfolio on Google Drive. This document can be consulted at any time by you, your supervisor and the doctoral school’s management team.
The doctoral school course offer may be used to fulfill the requirements, but (additional) external courses may also be acknowledged and may sometimes be needed.

REQUIREMENTS:
Throughout the doctoral trajectory, each PhD student needs to collect 30 points, with the following distribution:
- 20 points in discipline-specific activities (D),
- 10 points in non-discipline-specific activities (ND).
The activities should be spread as much as possible, and should be selected in consultation with the PhD supervisor and according to the needs of the research and the wishes/interests of the PhD student.
