Doctoral thesis

The doctoral thesis must be submitted to the Assessment Committee before the end of the candidate's contract (for employed PhD candidates). 

The Doctoral Degree regulations and guidelines of Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ outline the necessary requirements, procedures, responsibilities, and rules. It is the shared responsibility of both the supervisory team and the PhD candidate to ensure that the research presented in the thesis meets the required quality standards.  

The GSLS provides additional guidelines for the content of the doctoral thesis for GSLS PhD candidates. The goal of the PhD journey is to train the candidate as an independent scientist, equipping them for a career within or beyond academia. The thesis should reflect this scientific development. 

More information on thesis requirements, content and the Assessment Committee can be found on the PhD website
