PhD students
The recruitment of international PhD students mainly takes place through faculty employees’ international networks. Outside the Netherlands, vacancies are brought to students’ attention through Academic Transfer (AT). We also use methods to promote international vacancies that are specific to an area of expertise, for example during conferences.
