8 PhD programmes in Physics in Netherlands

The Applied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) views its mission as making contributions to physics and society by means of the education of students, by doing research and by valorizing the knowledge gained in its research. 

The department of Radiation Science and Technology at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has unique expertise in using ionizing radiation such as positrons and neutrons for research and education.

The prime objective of the PhD programme within the Graduate School of Spatial Sciences at University of Groningen is to provide PhD researchers with a solid basis for independent research. 

The department of Quantum Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) studies quantum phenomena in a wide variety of nanometer scale devices

PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Physics programme of independent research and additional (limited) course work, culminating in production of a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.

Our ambition at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is to be leading in developing novel instrumentation and imaging technologies. As such the Imaging Physics department's profile encompasses a mix of science, engineering and design.

The mission of the Institute for Lasers, Life and Biophotonics (LaserLaB) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is groundbreaking scientific research based on the interaction of light with matter, spanning from the research on atoms and molecules to the investigation of living cells and tissue and sustainable energy sources.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers an active and engaged intellectual community composed of researchers from around the world.
