Degree requirements
The key to success for any PhD candidate is an academic attitude and the ambition to become an excellent researcher. In addition, you should have the relevant educational background and skills required by a researcher in the specific field you have chosen. You have completed a research master (MPhil) or an equivalent degree. In some cases, applicants may be required to acquire additional qualifications, for example by entering the second year of our two research masters European Studies or CAST. Students with a regular master will only be accepted in exceptional cases. Each application will be assessed by the selection committee.
How to apply
The 2010 application round is closed. There will be a new round in Spring 2011. Details will be published on this website by the end of 2010.
Alternative opportunities
The faculty regularly offers a number of PhD positions from its own budget. In addition, PhD places may be funded through projects supported by for example the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) or European funding bodies.
