PhD programme

PhD students in Leiden typically follow a personalized programme, in close cooperation with a supervisor, and hold a paid job at the university for four years. There are usually vacancies on externally funded research projects. There may also be positions funded by one of the participating institutes. If you are interested, the best strategy is to contact a professor who is specialised in your field of interest. You need strong qualifications.
