PhD programmes in Natural Sciences & Mathematics in Netherlands

Mathematics and Computer Science department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a place that brings motivated students, lecturers and researchers together.

Chemical Engineering and Chemistry department is one of the nine departments of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

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. 

Within the PhD programme Environmental Biology at Utrecht University fundamental life processes of plants and microbes are studied at different organizational levels, from molecules and cells to plants, animal and entire ecosystems.

The research area of Drug Innovation at the Utrecht University is best described by the multidisciplinary collaboration of chemists, biologists, pharmacists, biomedical and clinical scientists, in order to translate scientific hypotheses to products for care, cure and prevention of diseases. 

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. 

PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Statistical Science programme of independent research, leading to a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.

At Utrecht University, the Computational Life Sciences research is changing rapidly now that biologists are generating vast amounts of data on very complex regulatory systems. 

PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Mathematics programme of independent research, leading to a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.

The Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance programme is a research programme in the section Quantitative Economics of the Amsterdam School of Economics at the University of Amsterdam. It concerns both fundamental and applied research in the field of financial and economic risk management.

The Department of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam conducts internationally renowned research and provides inspiring teaching.

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

The Department of Biotechnology at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) selects, designs and tests new biobased catalysts, micro-organisms, and processes.

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

The research programme Infection and Immunity offered at the Utrecht University has proven itself over the last decades.

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

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

Research and care go hand in hand. In most cases, the UMC Utrecht serves as a national referral centre. We offer a Clinical and Experimental Neuroscience degree at the Utrecht University. 

The Institute of Biomembranes (IB) is a unique multi-disciplinary research-training institute at Utrecht University. 

At the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) Department of Bionanoscience we are fascinated by the question of how molecules work together to create life at the cellular scale. A better understanding of the cell and its behaviour is also relevant for the development of new biomaterials (in food or high-tech materials) and new energy sources (biofuels).
