The Amsterdam Business Research Institute offers a research training programme as an opportunity for talented master students to explore possibilities for an academic career.
During this programme, which is an extension of your regular VU School of Business and Economics MSc programme, you will step into the shoes of a researcher to experience what it is like to be working as a PhD candidate.
This also means that you will participate in PhD level courses (minimum of 21 ECTS) to gain the knowledge and methodological skills necessary for conducting research in business and management.
The objective of the ABRI Pre-PhD Research Training Programme is to provide you with a good impression of what life as a PhD candidate would be like – and whether or not this would be the right choice for you. If so, the ABRI Pre-PhD Training Programme will prepare you for an application to a potential PhD position.
