Obtaining a PhD

First steps

A well-informed start

Deadlines

Application


  1. Your supervisor will register you as a new PhD candidate via oasis.ugent.be. You will be informed what to do next to complete your application.
  2. Once completed, your application will be dealt on the faculty Doctoral Commission and Faculty Board.
  3. PhdAdmission will notify you whether you are accepted at the faculty as a PhD candidate or not and how to enroll as a Phd student.

Enrolment as PhD student

All PhD researchers must enrol as student at the start of their doctoral study, as well as re-enrol online every following academic year until graduation, after approval of an annual self-reflection report. You will be charged a tuition fee for your first enrolment, and for your enrolment for your doctoral exam. The annual re-enrolment is free of charge.

Depending on the funding of your doctoral research, you may also be a member of staff. This means that a double registration may be required: as a student and as a member of staff (signing a contract at the personnel department).
