R-QRM Courses

R-QRM offers courses throughout the academic year, with two to three courses per semester, and they are largely applied in nature. Teaching typically combines online preparation with intensive on-campus or hybrid course meetings, followed by continued online activities.

R-QRM is open to researchers at different career stages, including:

  • Doctoral students admitted to postgraduate education
  • Postdoctoral researchers and early-career scholars
