PhD Dissertation

The Leiden University PhD regulations are leading for the composition of the PhD dissertation. As Leiden University prescribes no strict regulations with regard to the structure and content of a PhD dissertation, LACDR has composed thesis guidelines, specified per research group. At the start of a PhD track, the PhD candidate will receive the guidelines of his/her research group. Note that these are guidelines, and for individual cases the promotor may deviate from these guidelines for specific reasons.

The topics of the guidelines are:

•    Structure of the thesis
•    Publication
•    Authorship
•    Same research manuscript in more than one thesis
