PhD Programme Chemistry
-
PhD students carry out a programme of independent research and additional (limited) course work, culminating in production of a PhD thesis in typically four years. A detailed description of the research projects will be found on the website of the Leiden Institute of Chemistry (LIC).
- Requirements
Specific requirements of the PhD programme depend on the specialization chosen and are determined in agreement with the supervisor of the thesis.
- Training
The students actively participate in national and international meetings as a part of their training. The PhD thesis is written in English, the language commonly used in the research groups.
- MSc degree
A MSc degree is required for admission to the PhD programme. If appropriate, the PhD project will be a continuation of an MSc research project. Every year, the Leiden Institute of Chemistry has paid positions available for PhD students, that are filled on a merit basis.
- Position
A paid position includes limited assistance in undergraduate teaching. It may also be possible to enter the PhD programme with self-obtained grants. Grants must provide for costs of living and for a bench fee.
