Doctoral Schools
Doctoral research has always been at the forefront of Ghent University’s research policy. Five Doctoral Schools were implemented to support junior researchers during their research training, to focus on the international dimension of the doctoral degree and to enhance the value of the degree of doctor in the job market, in society and in the researcher’s personal career.
Your faculty remains responsible for academic admission of a PhD proposal, the defense of the dissertation and the granting of degrees. Your doctoral school will more particularly support you during your doctoral research.
Each of the Doctoral Schools has its own specific research focus:
- Arts, Humanities and Law
- Social and Behavioural Sciences
- Natural Sciences
- (Bioscience) Engineering
- Life Sciences and Medicine
