Defending your thesis

A PhD Defence ceremony is a formal occasion with strict protocols governing each person’s role, responsibility, and even the language used. It all works a bit like a trial, hence the term ‘PhD defence’. If you are a PhD candidate at the end of your trajectory you need to formally request permission for a public defense ceremony soon. In this website you find information on practical matters you need to arrange before and during your doctoral research and explains how to go about your your PhD defense.

One step closer to an anti-stress pill

Why are some people more sensitive to stress than others? Dennis Hernaus was hired as a PhD candidate to study the relationship between stress and dopamine levels of patients using PET scanners. He found that low dopamine levels are associated with increased sensitivity to stress and vice versa.  

Wrestling with medical-ethical dilemmas during WWII

Is it okay for a doctor to make someone ill or appear ill if it saves them from being boarded on a train and sent to a death camp? Hannah van den Ende studied the experiences of 534 Dutch-Jewish doctors who wrestled with this type of ethical dilemma during WWII.  

Studying HIV-related stigma in virtual reality

Stigmatising behaviour is often unconscious. People don't usually realise that they treat HIV patients differently. But the consequences are real. Henna Toppenberg and her PhD supervisor Rob Ruiter are using virtual reality to gain more insight into this behaviour so they can help bring about change.

Hortense Jongen winner of The 2018 Dissertation Prize

The 2018 Dissertation Prize, this year awarded for the best doctoral dissertation from the inner city faculties, went to Hortense Jongen from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Her thesis is entitled: ‘Combating corruption the soft way: The authority of peer reviews in the global fight against graft.’

Pursuing a PhD means spending a minimum of four years conducting original research and writing a dissertation. Throughout this time, PhD candidates work in close collaboration with their supervisor. A PhD is not regarded as study, but as serious research and PhD candidates in the Netherlands are often in paid employment.

Pursuing a PhD in the Netherlands

Admission and funding, why choose the netherlands for your phd.

The Netherlands has:

• excellent graduate schools;
• a large variety of research fields and extensive interdisciplinary collaboration;
• world-class research: ten Dutch research universities are ranked in the top 200 of the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022;
• mostly paid employment contracts for PhD candidates.

Research schools and graduate schools

All PhD candidates are part of a graduate school or research school. Research schools are partnerships between multiple research universities and research institutes, while graduate schools are organised within universities. Both provide an inspiring research environment, offering tailor-made study programmes, master classes, seminars and conferences.

A Dutch PhD is highly regarded

Once your dissertation is approved for publication, you will attend the public defence of your research and will be awarded the PhD at a ceremony steeped in tradition. A PhD from a Dutch university is highly regarded because of the high academic standards. The Netherlands has an excellent international ranking for the number of publications per researcher (2nd) and for the impact of research publication (4th).

Where are PhDs offered?

In the Netherlands, research is carried out by research universities, research institutes and companies, but only research universities can award PhD degrees. Other research institutes that work in close collaboration with a research university may also offer PhD positions.

Most PhD posts will often be advertised on job boards, such as AcademicTransfer , in scientific journals, or on notice boards at other institutions. If you see a PhD position that interests you, contact the institution directly about the application procedure.

Your own research proposal

If you have a specific research proposal of your own and cannot find a vacancy to match it, you may pitch your idea to universities or research groups that conduct research in the relevant field and are able to provide funding.

Admission criteria for PhD positions are rigorous, and potential candidates must have a solid background in the theory and methods of their field as well as a recognised master’s degree. PhD students from other countries generally choose to write their dissertation in English and will therefore need to demonstrate a good command of English idiom and grammar before the dissertation begins.

Funding your PhD position

In the Netherlands, there are generally 3 ways to fund your PhD:

• employed by the PhD-awarding institution;
• with a fellowship or grant awarded by a supporting body;
• with sponsorship from your employer.

Employed by an institution The majority of PhD candidates in the Netherlands have an employment contract with the institution where they will be conducting their research.

Fellowship or grant About one sixth of PhD candidates in the Netherlands find funding in the form of a fellowship or grant, and many of these come from abroad. Once you have found a fellowship or grant, you will need to find a supervisor at a research institution willing to support you. Organisations offering fellowships and grants can be found on the EURAXESS website and at our Finances overview .

Sponsored by your employer It is sometimes possible to study for a PhD part-time while working. If you and your employer are interested in this option, you should contact the institution of your choice for more information.

Tuition fees

Some Dutch institutions charge fees for enrolment, supervision and access to laboratories and other facilities. Each research university is free to decide on how much it charges and fees do vary from one discipline to the next, depending on whether expensive equipment is required or not.

The EURAXESS website provides detailed practical information useful for researchers (including PhD candidates) coming to the Netherlands, covering immigration procedures, social security, taxation, healthcare insurance, etc. If you need an entry visa, your prospective institution will advise you on the correct procedure for your particular situation.

We are excited about newly interest in pursuing a PhD at the University of Amsterdam and look forward to welcoming postgraduate students to our dynamic academic community at PsyRes.

The Brain and Cognition programme aims to gain understanding of cognitive phenomena based on neurobiological principles, and has a focus on using cognitive research to understand clinical phenomena and to develop assessment tools or interventions for specific patient groups. The focus is thus on both typical and atypical brain functioning and cognition. The group has a relatively large number of PhD students and therefore there is ample possibility for interaction with other PhD students, both for research purposes (e.g. asking questions about methods or complicated analysis) as well as for social purposes. Interaction with other members of the program group, i.e. post docs and staff members, is actively encouraged through weekly program group meetings in which plenary talks are given by members of the group from all levels.

There is a strong research-oriented atmosphere and new experimental projects are generally discussed in smaller group settings to foster discussion and collaboration. PhD students are supervised by at least two staff members (promotor and co-promotor) and often part of the Amsterdam Graduate Network, a network organization with PhD students from both the UvA and the VU (in case the PhD project is mostly on the nature of human cognition and its neural basis) by a graduate school of choice (in case the PhD project is in the domain of clinical neuropsychology).

Should you have any questions about pursuing a PhD in the Brain and Cognition group, please click on the link below.

PhD students in Clinical Psychology are always supervised by at least two staff members (promotor and co-promotor) and participate in the teaching programme of the School of Experimental Psychopathology (EPP).

Individual studies of PhD students are generally discussed in small group settings. In these meetings, not only their own studies are discussed, but also major articles in the field. Further, PhD students are encouraged to present their work on international conferences.

Should you have any questions about pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology, please click on the link below.

The research group consists tenured staff and about 50% PhD students and postdocs. PhD students are supervised by at least two staff members and become a member of a lab group in which research is discussed in a constructive atmosphere. The interaction between PhD students and other staff is encouraged actively which results in considerable cross-fertilization between several themes of the program.

PhD students and their supervisors prepare a training program at the start of the PhD project, which includes taking courses, for example those offered by research schools like EPP or IOPS. Although PhD students are recruited on the basis of a research proposal, students are encouraged actively to make an independent contribution, especially during the final stages of the project. The progress made by PhD students and postdocs is continuously monitored by their supervisors, and on a yearly basis by the research institute.

Should you have any questions about pursuing a PhD in Developmental Psychology, please click on the link below.

Many topics are initiated by PhD students, who fulfill an important role in our research culture. Fortunately, in the last years the number of PhD students increased due to NWO funding. Generally, PhD students are supervised by at least two staff members.

Each month plenary talks are held. The objective of the internal collaboration is to increase the quality and productivity of the group and to improve the unity of the research. Finally, PhD students participate in activities organised by the  Interuniversity Graduate School of Psychometrics and Sociometrics (IOPS) , the institute for the advanced dissertation training in psychometrics and sociometrics.

Working at Utrecht University

2 phd's on nature-based approaches for climate adaptation in dutch lowland.

Climate change, biodiversity loss, and the competition for space due to economic development pose increasing threats to the Netherlands. To maintain a safe, economically viable, and biodiverse environment, fundamental changes are needed in our land use, soil management, and water management. In this context, transitioning towards Nature-Based adaptation becomes increasingly important.

As part of the Nationaal Groeifonds programme NL2120 , the Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University explores adaptation approaches for Dutch rivers and peatlands. We are seeking two PhD candidates who are eager to contribute to this climate adaptation challenge through two separate projects.

Sustainable RiverScapes (Position 1) aims to develop integrated nature-based strategies for the Dutch river areas to adapt to the changing climate and enhance biodiversity. The challenge is to find adaptation solutions that optimize flood safety, sedimentation, biodiversity, and balance cost and benefits. You will extend and apply the RiverScape model, which simulates the hydro-morphological effects of nature-based interventions in the river-floodplain area. Using field observations with state-of-the-art instruments enabled by the new Delta-ENIGMA facility, you will quantitatively analyze floodplain vegetation and sediment dynamics to develop new vegetation and sediment modules in RiverScape. Subsequently, you will evaluate different strategies under a range of future scenarios to assess how nature-based approaches can contribute to the climate adaptation of river landscapes.

Sustainable Peatlands (Position 2) aims to develop strategies for the sustainable development and climate-resilient use of peatland areas to enhance carbon sequestration and biodiversity, and to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases. To date, it is unknown how drained peatlands can be optimally used as nature-based solutions from a greenhouse gas perspective, and what water and soil management measures are required. Fundamental understanding of the natural dynamics of peatland systems is still needed. For this research, a unique peatland growth pilot is being developed in the province of Friesland. Field measurements at the pilot site and in other peatlands, laboratory measurements, and numerical models will be used to investigate peat growth, carbon storage, and greenhouse gas emissions under changing conditions such as groundwater levels. In this project, you will quantify and monitor carbon sequestration under different conditions in peatland areas across the Netherlands, identify the role of the water system and other controls on carbon sequestration, and develop strategies to make polders climate-neutral.

Within the NL2120 project, both PhDs will integrate their results with studies on governance and economics conducted at other universities and by external parties (Deltares, WUR, NGOs, water boards, and Rijkswaterstaat).

To support academic and personal development, PhD candidates will follow courses and assist in teaching Earth Sciences at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. Together, these activities amount to twenty percent of the contracted time.

The P&Q Interview: The New Dean Of Stevens School of Business, AI & Tech Professor GJ de Vreede

Gert-Jan “GJ” de Vreede will take over as dean of Stevens Institute of Technology’s School of Business effective September 1. He will also be a member of Stevens faculty and plans to spend at least some time in the classroom.

de Vreede will replace retiring dean Gregory Prastacos, who has led the Stevens School of Business since 2012.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, de Vreede earned his MS and PhD in information systems from Delft University of Technology, a technology- and engineering-focused school with a business college – much like Stevens. He is a widely recognized scholar in artificial intelligence, crowdsourcing, and collaboration engineering.

“This spring, I got connected with Stevens and it felt like going home. It so aligns with my personal background, with my philosophy on research and training students. In the Netherlands we say, ‘like hand in a glove’ and that’s how it felt,” de Vreede tells Poets&Quants.

AN EMPHASIS ON AI, ENTREPRENEURSHIP, AND TECH

de Vreede’s entrepreneurship and new technology expertise is a fitting complement to Stevens, a private research university in Hoboken, New Jersey, serving about 8,000 students per year. Some 62% of its graduate students in Fall 2023 were international.

One value proposition of its School of Business is preparing students for the digital economy, particularly in the fast-growing fintech space. Its STEM designed MBA rose from No. 85 to No. 69 on P&Q’s MBA composite ranking this year.

The B-school is home to the Center for Research toward Advancing Financial Technologies (CRAFT), the first fintech-focused Industry University Cooperative Research center funded by the National Science Foundation. Just last month, it was selected as the founding academic partner for NJFAST , a fintech and insurtech startup accelerator in partnership with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and Silicon Valley’s Plug and Play .

“GJ de Vreede is an outstanding selection to lead Stevens’ School of Business into the future. His impressive scholarship in artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and technology aligns perfectly with Stevens’ strengths and strategic vision,” said Stevens president Nariman Farvardin. “Under his leadership, I am confident the School of Business will continue elevating its national reputation for developing the next generation of innovators and business leaders.”

de Vreede most recently comes from the University of South Florida’s Muma College of Business where he has served as interim dean since August 2022. At USF, he led a consolidation effort to combine three separate USF campuses and business schools into “One USF.” That meant realigning curriculum, work policies, evaluation procedures and more across the three campuses’ b-schools. He also rolled out a new workplace readiness program for all Muma undergrads and oversaw an impressive climb in rankings for several programs as academic director of Muma’s graduate programs.

He previously taught information systems at the University of Nebraska Omaha from 2002 to 2015. There, he created the Center for Collaboration Science , an interdisciplinary research and education center focused on how people work together.

Poets&Quants recently caught up with de Vreede to talk about his career, accomplishments, and his plans for Stevens School of Business. Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Let’s start with a bit about your background and your path to Stevens Institute of Technology.

I was born and raised in the Netherlands. I graduated from Delft University of Technology, which is like Stevens in the Netherlands: A technology focused engineering school, but also with business like colleges. About 22 years ago, I moved to Omaha to join the University of Nebraska at Omaha as a professor of information systems. There, I set up the Center for Collaboration Science that included faculty from all six colleges, and we worked on projects for the local community, the national community, and federal agencies to study how people work together and how you can make them more productive and more effective.

GJ de Vreede will become dean of Stevens School of Business effective September 1.

In 2015, the University of South Florida called me up and we moved South. In 2018, I was invited to serve as interim dean of the Sarasota-Manatee campus. USF, at that time, was three different campuses in the same system, but with our own accreditation. They were completely independent – they each had their own leadership, each had their own business school with its own dean and its own AACSB accreditation.

By law, we had to consolidate in 2020. To prepare for that, the three deans started working together and I was one of those three. Then in 2019, I became associate dean for research and graduate programs for the three campuses.

In 2022, the dean of the Muma College of Business became president at the University of North Florida, so I became the interim dean. I’ve done that now for almost two years; I have about 11 days to go.

This spring, I got connected with Stevens and it felt like going home. It so aligns with my personal background, with my philosophy on research and training students. In the Netherlands we say, “like hand in a glove” and that’s how it felt.

What do you think sets Stevens School of Business apart from its competitors?

Technology is a key differentiator. Technology is everywhere, and it’s going to be everywhere if the last few years with AI has taught us anything. But Stevens is more than just focusing on the technology as a tool that you engineer. They really are looking critically at how you can best use technology, how you can make decisions with technology, while still using critical thinking and keeping an ethical compass. So it’s not just about the bottom line, but also about the sustainable bottom line for businesses.

Another thing that sets Stevens apart is that they’re very innovative. If you see where Stevens came from, you really have to tip our hat to the current dean, Gregory Prastacos. He has taken a fairly small school to a full fledged accredited business school that is ranking really high. It increased the number of programs and has become comprehensive. I think people outside of the education field don’t recognize or appreciate how difficult it is at times to start new programs – to get people on board, to get the community engaged, to get the faculty engaged, and then get enrollments growing. But they have done that.

Personally, you could tell probably from my brief narrative, I like building things. I like to be in an environment that’s a bit entrepreneurial. I see myself as an academic entrepreneur. It’s not a matter of if we should do it, but how are we going to do it? And I think that is what sets Stevens apart. I visited many business schools, and they don’t all have that innovative outlook.

I think that is gonna pay dividends in the future. There’s so much opportunity out there that we can capitalize on, and there’s so many needs. I mean, businesses are struggling with the pace of development at the moment. If you think about upskilling and reskilling, they are looking for help. So we have a role to fulfill.

The other thing that really struck me when I visited Stevens the very first time compared to other universities is the silos are not so firm. There is a lot of permeation between the colleges, between the disciplines; people work together. At the University of Nebraska Center on Collaboration Science, on my management team, there was a management professor, another management professor with an IS background, and a psychologist. We also had somebody from arts and communication and education and public administration. They were all working together. We had PhD students working on projects with faculty from different disciplines.That is where the magic happens. I think that’s what I’m seeing at Stevens. You see what the engineering school is doing with the humanities, with the business school in entrepreneurship, where those things come together. I’m really excited as you can tell.

What is your vision and major goals for the business school in your first term?

There’s a couple of areas where we really want to make headway, and one is expanding on international and graduate enrollments. Maybe that’s through different recruiting, but especially looking at some of the programs where we can integrate and make cross linkages between the colleges.

Another is the infusion of AI throughout all the majors because the workforce of tomorrow is the workforce that needs to know how to use these tools wisely. They say AI won’t replace you, but somebody using AI will replace you, so we have to make sure that our graduates are the ones that know how to use these tools well.

I’m also going to be exploring different types of experiential initiatives for students. So, for example, a new initiative announced a few weeks ago is the New Jersey Fintech Accelerator at Stevens Institute of Technology, (NJ FAST). It’s a partnership between Stevens, the Economic Development Authority, the governor of New Jersey, and Plug and Play. It’s going to be an incubator with fintech startups, and there will be room for some of our students to work alongside those startups, intern, participate, and so on. That’s going to be a significant shift and the type of experiences we can give our students, and I want to explore more opportunities like that.

Will that be geared to students of all levels, or more for MBAs or graduate students?

I believe for students of all levels, but it depends on the type of fintech initiative. You can imagine that if the tech is more based on, say, an app like Excel, or those types of payment apps, they will be looking at students that have more of a technology background in app development. If it’s focused more on AI and prediction of financial markets, they will look at financial engineering and finance students. Fintech is such an umbrella of technologies that there will be something for everyone.

Two other things I want to explore at Stevens: One, as I mentioned, is reskilling and upskilling. So the notion of certificates, and potentially stackable certificates. For example, how does an organization govern their AI use and the implementation of AI? We all focus on the technology. We’re all amazed by what Claude and ChatGPT can do, but now how do you use that from a policy point of view within the organization? How do you train your people? How do you monitor that they’re using it well, and cover your liability? I think there’s a lot that we can offer to train people.

Then, last but not least, is the development of partnerships with the business community. We often talk about public private partnerships, but I like to think of it as the four ‘Ps.’ – public, private, and philanthropic partnerships. You see that a little bit in the incubator that I just mentioned, but getting parties from different backgrounds together to create an initiative that is new and that meets a need in the market. Then you can make a difference.
