- For the third semester, you choose to follow a “Research Track” or a “Professional Track": students who choose the Research Track follow courses at one of the ReD Global Partner Institutions; students who choose the professional track will do an internship at one of the ReD Global non-Academic Associated Partners (professional organisations)
- You dedicate most of your fourth and final semester to the PhD proposal or policy paper. This may be carried out at the most suitable location, to be determined by you and your supervisors
Please note that all students, regardless of scholarship status, must spend a minimum of two semesters in two countries, which must be different from the country of residence at the time of enrolment. This means that if you are a Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese student, you cannot spend your third semester in Groningen, Córdoba, or Coimbra respectively.
