During you PhD study
Supervision, developing research skills, personal development
The prevalent PhD research culture at TU Delft is one of self-motivation, critical thought and academic rigour. You will be given a degree of freedom to determine your own learning programme instead of a pre-determined schedule and mandatory classes. You will be encouraged to develop independence in experimentation and research under supervision and have the opportunity to publish in peer-reviewed journals and to travel to international conferences.
To help you prepare for further career development beyond the PhD degree, TU Delft offers courses to develop your personal competencies. Courses include research ethics, business management and how to write dissertations. Additional courses are also available to train PhD students in communication, negotiations and didactic skills.
PhD representation and social events
PROMOOD is the representative body for all PhD students at TU Delft. It promotes the interest of PhD students, as well as providing a social and networking platform through its regular social events.
Practical matters
If your application is successful and you are selected, the department where your selected research project is taking place will help you in the practical processes of living in the Netherlands.
