The partial University Teaching Qualification (Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs, BKO) certificate provides recognition that a PhD candidate has gained knowledge and experience as a teacher.…

The PhD track involves many different aspects. As well as important administrative steps that you have to take, for example, there are also introductory activities, a training programme and opportunities for research abroad.

From loading the dishwasher to packing the car: good spatial ability is always useful. How do children develop this skill in primary school? Researchers from Leiden University and TU Delft are investigating this. ‘We want to create a meaningful toolbox for teachers.’

Considering the fact that PhD candidates spend a lot of time on teaching and develop valuable transferable skills in this process, the Doctorate Board agreed that teaching hours (for a max. of 20 hours) can be included as transferable skills. So this counts as part of the compulsory 140 hours of transferable…
