Update on Mandatory Courses
The LUMC Graduate School changed the mandatory courses requirements so that the courses followed will be a better fit with the wishes and interests of most PhD candidates. Read more on the update. Do not forget that, unless you already followed the introductory meeting from Leiden University, you also need to follow the Inform & Connect program. You can sign up for it here. This program is complementary to the e-learning offered by LUMC.

Want to be part of change in the LUMC? Join our Board!
Since the autumn of 2023, the LAP Board has taken part in more initiatives, such as organizing closed door sessions, being involved in Academia in Motion and, in limited capacity, in the selection of the new Dean and in the development of new policies that impact LUMC PhD Candidates. As a Board, we are fully committed to representing the rights of PhD Candidates and wish to contribute to the change taking place at LUMC, so we have gratefully and bravely taken on new challenges. However, we find ourselves in need of more Board Members to be able to sustain our efforts.
As a general board member, your responsibilities will likely include attending board meetings, organizing events or initiatives, communicating with other PhD Candidates and faculty members, and supporting the overall functioning of the board and its objectives. Dutch is not required for this role!
In return, you get to learn about the ins and outs of the LUMC, work with a diverse board of motivated fellow PhD candidates who want to make a difference for the PhD community, and you can have the opportunity to implement your ideas and see them flourish in practice! We look forward to meeting you! Send us your CV and motivation letter!
