Inner Science is understood to be the study and practice of, as well as research into, mystical principles. The PhD in Transpersonal Research bridges the gap between inner and outer sciences. Our approach to overcoming this gap is by respecting each other, creating a dialogue between both fields of science, and by developing a common language. For this purpose, we need to have a foundation in both inner and outer science and an eagerness to acquire and embody more knowledge by studying and practicing both fields. Our hypothesis is that from this interplay of inner and outer science an innovative contribution to the world will evolve.
