In order to better prepare PhD candidates for the labour market, the Faculty of Humanities organises an annual PhD Career Event (click here to see the programme of the PhD Career Event 2023 and here for the 2024 programme, organised in collaboration with the faculties of Social Sciences, Governance and Global Affairs, Archeology and Law).  

There are several courses on career development available for PhD candidates: for more information, please visit the HRM courses website.

PhD candidates can also visit the Career Platform for self-reflection and personality tests, online courses, tips and alumni’s experiences. The link to this platform can be found at the support and community website

Finally, some institutes organise meetings with alumni and other events relating to career guidance. These include work visits to companies and institutions that employ PhD graduates.
