VU and UvA both organize sessions to prepare you to the defence ceremony.
- VU: in the VU mainbuilding, a ‘VU Meet the Beadle’ session will take place. Check PhD examining committee and day of the defence - Amsterdam UMC/VU (amsterdamumc.org) for more information.
- UvA: Every Monday at 10.00 (in Dutch) and at 12.00 (in English), there is an online beadle class. You can log in with this link: https://uva[1]live.zoom.us/j/85474197414. Or watch the beadle class video: https://youtu.be/IJsK4vPvhN4
You can also consult the PowerPoint presentation available on the Doctoral School website - there is one for VU/VUmc PhD candidates and one for UvA/AMC PhD candidates. These presentations address many practical questions you may have in the run-up to, during, and after your defence. If you still have questions, you are welcome to join one of the online Doctoral School Q&A meetings to ask them. The dates for these meetings can be found via the links above.
