Courses and activities within the BIGH programme

The BIGH programme consists on courses, workshops, seminars, and student driven activities. Students can start with level 2 courses, and then deepen their knowledge with level 3-4 courses and activities.

Application and admission

General information on doctoral courses such as course application and admission process, choice of courses and course requirements can be found on the webpage for doctoral courses.

Application to doctoral courses are done through the KI course catalogue. The available courses are announced once per semester and the catalogue for courses is published around April 15 and October 15. Application is open during three weeks.

KI's courses are open for registered doctoral students at all universities and colleges. If space allows, other applicants may also be accepted.

Late application

Some courses may have occasional places left even though they are not listed on the webpage for course vacancies. In that case, the students are welcome to contact the course leader or contact person.

Seminars, workshops and other activities

The programme hosts seminars, workshops and other educational activities. The purpose of our seminars is to provide an intellectually challenging, yet generous and informal environment where doctoral students can work on core topics and develop their knowledge together with junior and senior colleagues.
