The Graduate School for the Humanities aims to be a vibrant social, educational, and intellectual community for researchers at the start of their (scientific) careers. We train PhD candidates to conduct research that is both scientifically excellent and socially relevant, and we provide them with the support they need to develop world-class research skills and complete their PhD projects on time. This community consists mainly of PhD candidates, but also of Research Master students and postdocs.

Institutes

The Graduate School for the Humanities unites the graduate programmes of the three research institutes in the Humanities at Radboud University Nijmegen.

Research masters at the GSH

The Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology, and Religious Studies offer three outstanding two-year Research Master’s programmes in the Humanities. These programmes are designed for excellent and motivated students, who are interested in a career in academic or applied research.
