Course Programme 2025-2026
The Huizinga Institute’s curriculum aims to provide RMA students and PhD candidates with a coherent programme of courses in cultural history, divided into three strands:
- PhDs: Core Courses in Cultural History (RMA students can join when there’s room). Focusing on methods, theories and skills particular to cultural-historical research, this 10-12 ECTS programme aims to help PhD candidates develop into professional cultural-historical researchers.
- Core Course 1: Positioning and Designing your research
During CC1, PhD candidates who have just started their PhD research are introduced to the broad field of cultural history.
- Core Course 2: The Cultural Historian’s Toolbox
CC2 focuses on concepts, sources, and methods in cultural history. It enables candidates to develop their methodological skills, based on their own research objects and interests.
- Core Course 3: Cultural History in Action
The CC3 allows PhD candidates to develop their interests and work on their professional competencies within research networks and the larger field of cultural history, benefitting RMA students as well. It consists of various activities, most notably the Huizinga PhD Conference.
- RMA students: Thematic courses on interdisciplinary subjects (PhDs can join when there’s room). During these continuously updated modules, students can pursue their thematic interests or broaden their expertise.
- Joint PhD/RMA programme: Summer schools, International courses, Masterclasses and Workshops. More masterclasses and workshops will be added during the course of the academic year.
Note: prospective members who have not yet been registered by their university can already sign up for courses.
Please make sure to mention this in the registration form.
