(Re-)Enrolment for PhD
All PhD researchers at Ghent University must enrol as student at the start of their study and re-enrol every following academic year (until graduation). PhD students are automatically enrolled for the Doctoral Training Programme which is organised through the Doctoral Schools. All doctoral students become member of a Doctoral School at their first enrolment as a PhD student.
