Doing a PhD

PhD track
A PhD track consists of original scientific research under the supervision of a professor, which takes on average 4 years.
Many PhD candidates are employed by the University, but a number are subsidised by a grant that they have acquired themselves.
The University also has a large number of external PhD candidates, who generally work part-time on their research.
