PhD: Applying for admission

All PhD candidates must seek admission to the Graduate School BSS before beginning their PhD project. The Graduate School BSS operates on a 'rolling admission' basis, meaning there are no fixed application deadlines, and interested candidates can apply at any time.

How to Apply for Admission

PhD candidates who have secured funding, received clear support from a potential supervisor, meet the admission requirements, and for external PhDs have an approved research proposal, will be admitted to the PhD programme and can register with the Graduate School of Behavioural and Social Sciences via gradschool.bss rug.nl.

Starting dates

PhD candidates can start their PhD projects all year round on the first day of a month.
