At HIMS we consider the PhD project as a four year education track in which young talented people get the opportunity to capitalize on their talents and develop their knowledge and skills. Within 48 months, you will be trained as a scientific researcher, with skills that are employable in many directions both in and outside the academic world. On top of your personal growth, your PhD project will advance science and contribute to society.

Practically, HIMS aims that its PhD students:
1.    finish a thesis within 48 months, and 
2.    get a job following their UvA appointment.

There are several important milestones to be met in each PhD track. Information on what to do, which forms to fill in and which meetings to plan, can be found on this page.
