Affiliated graduate schools

FASoS’ PhD candidates attend National Research School (NRSs) courses several times per year, often in sessions of several days. Apart from providing disciplinary training, membership in a NRS helps them build a network of fellow PhDs and professors outside the UM. They thus offer integration into the academic life of specific disciplines. FASoS thus sees participating in NRSs as highly beneficial.
