PhD programmes
Many students who have finished a research programme choose to continue at a PhD level. During the 4-year programme, PhD candidates conduct a research project culminating in a PhD thesis or a series of articles in scientific journals.
Graduate Schools
The candidates work under the supervision of a professor. Additionally, PhD candidates take courses at one of the Graduate Schools and must also provide teaching themselves.
More information
Apart from applying to one of the available PhD positions, candidates having finished a graduate programme may also submit PhD research proposals of their own. Read more at the PhD candidates site.
