PhD student categories

The University of Twente accommodates the following PhD-student categories (see also VSNU ‘Passend promoveren’, 2008):

a. Research Assistant: a temporary employee of the University of Twente who receives direct funding, research grant or contract research (FOM students included).

b. Staff: present employees of University of Twente who are given the opportunity to conduct PhD research. These PhD candidates may already have significant teaching and/or research experience. The Training and Supervision Plan will be adapted to take this experience into consideration.

c. PhD student international: International PhD candidates with a fellowship or grant and not formally employed by the University of Twente. Their research is primarily conducted at the University of Twente. Or, in case of sandwich PhD students, they only spend part of the four-year PhD Programme at University of Twente or one of its international partners. These PhD candidates must have the support of both their home institute and their supervisor at the University of Twente.

d. External PhD candidates; PhD candidates who are not employed by University of Twente and who conduct research at an institute other than the University of Twente. These PhD candidates must have the support of a full professor as their supervisor at University of Twente.

e. PhD candidates in a dual course (study/work): PhD candidates who conduct their PhD research partly at the University of Twente, partly elsewhere (parallel or sequential). These PhD candidates must have the support of a full professor as supervisor at University of Twente (sandwich PHD students not included).
