PhD programme (original) (raw)

PhD research in international law

The T.M.C. Asser Instituut's PhD Programme trains researchers to work at the cutting edge of international law, conducting independent research at the interface of academia and practice, connecting also with other Dutch universities. Our PhD programme is interdisciplinary, designed to foster greater insights into the practices of international law in times of change. Our work is organised around close contact between supervisors and PhD researchers, supported by professional training activities, and featuring collaborative theoretical and methodological queries intended to assist our PhDs in the development of each dissertation. The Asser Institute is also a hub for inter-university PhD networks.
