Why do a PhD at VUB?
You do your doctorate with one goal in mind: to obtain a doctoral degree. This is the highest degree you can obtain at a Flemish university. As a doctoral student, you mainly conduct research, combined with teaching assignments.
You gain a great deal of experience during your doctoral study programme: you attend conferences, give presentations, and publish scientific articles. You will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a subject that fascinates you and acquire skills that are particularly useful on the job market. A doctorate is a decisive step in your career, both in and outside the academic world.
