GSLS Training Certificate
In addition to your doctoral diploma and thesis, you may apply for the GSLS Training Certificate, which recognises your active participation in doctoral education and personal competency development. If you plan to continue your career outside the Netherlands, the Training Certificate is required as proof of your doctoral training programme.
As a PhD candidate, you are responsible for collecting documentation of training activities (attendance certificates) followed during your PhD. These activities will form your PhD Training Portfolio.
Your PhD programme coordinator, on behalf of the Board of Studies of the GSLS, will review your PhD Training Portfolio and decide if you qualify for the GSLS Training Certificate, i.e. if you meet the requirements (see ‘PhD Training Portfolio Requirements’). The GSLS Training Certificate is usually presented to you at the end of your PhD defence ceremony. Please request your GSLS Training Certificate at least 2 months before your defence using the application form.
