Is earning a doctorate the right thing for you? 

Do you have a passion for science, are you curious and inventive, and would you like to work in an internationally competitive environment? Then earning a doctorate is the right thing for you! At VUB, you have the opportunity to do full-time research in an academic context for at least 4 years. Doing a PhD is a long-term endeavour, but the experience you gain and the skills you learn are decisive for the rest of your career.  

Joint PhD

The VUB can award so-called joint PhDs. A joint PhD, or â€˜cotutelle de thèse' in French, is a doctorate that’s prepared in collaboration with two universities. The research is done under supervision of a supervisor in each institution and at the end of the successful project you will be awarded a PhD degree by both universities.
