PhD theses

In addition to PhD positions offered via vacancies, we encourage MSc students to continue writing scientific papers after graduation to complete a PhD thesis at their working place.

Several interesting organisations for PhD candidates are:

• PhD Organisation Nijmegen (PON), which helps you in finding your way in the load of information and supports and defends the interests of PhD candidates in Nijmegen.

• Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment (SENSE), which is a joint venture of the environmental research institutes of 10 Dutch universities. Here you can find education and training in disciplinary and multidisciplinary environmental issues.

• International Office, which promotes mobility of outgoing PhDs and reimbursement of expenses for incoming PhDs. Click here for more information.
