Chemical Engineering and Chemistry
Chemical Engineering and Chemistry department is one of the nine departments of Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e).

Mathematics and Computer Science
Mathematics and Computer Science department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a place that brings motivated students, lecturers and researchers together.

Applied Physics
The Applied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) views its mission as making contributions to physics and society by means of the education of students, by doing research and by valorizing the knowledge gained in its research.
Operations Management and Operations Research
The aim of the PhD Operations Management and Operations Research programme at University of Groningen is to turn out highly qualified researchers.
Mathematics
PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Mathematics programme of independent research, leading to a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.
Biotechnology
The Department of Biotechnology at the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) selects, designs and tests new biobased catalysts, micro-organisms, and processes.
Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences
PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences programme of independent research and additional limited) course work, culminating in production of a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.
Molecular and Life Sciences
The primary aim of the Amsterdam Institute of Molecular and Life Sciences PhD programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is to train talented students to become highly skilled and independent scientists in AIMMS related areas of research and to prepare them for a future career in academia and other research institutes, society and industry, in particular the pharmaceutical industry.
Drug Innovation
The research area of Drug Innovation at the Utrecht University is best described by the multidisciplinary collaboration of chemists, biologists, pharmacists, biomedical and clinical scientists, in order to translate scientific hypotheses to products for care, cure and prevention of diseases.
Clinical and Experimental Neuroscience
Research and care go hand in hand. In most cases, the UMC Utrecht serves as a national referral centre. We offer a Clinical and Experimental Neuroscience degree at the Utrecht University.
Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences
The Research School of Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences (BCN) is a multi-disciplinary research school within the University of Groningen.
Radiation Science and Technology
The department of Radiation Science and Technology at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) has unique expertise in using ionizing radiation such as positrons and neutrons for research and education.
Precision and Microsystems Engineering
The Department of Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) carries out research and provides education in the field of high-tech systems and scientific instrumentation.
Chemistry
PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Chemistry programme of independent research and additional (limited) course work, culminating in production of a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.
Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance
The Actuarial Science and Mathematical Finance programme is a research programme in the section Quantitative Economics of the Amsterdam School of Economics at the University of Amsterdam. It concerns both fundamental and applied research in the field of financial and economic risk management.
Statistical Science
PhD candidates at Leiden University carry out a Statistical Science programme of independent research, leading to a PhD thesis in typically 4 years.
Bionanoscience
At the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) Department of Bionanoscience we are fascinated by the question of how molecules work together to create life at the cellular scale. A better understanding of the cell and its behaviour is also relevant for the development of new biomaterials (in food or high-tech materials) and new energy sources (biofuels).
Quantum Nanoscience
The department of Quantum Nanoscience at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) studies quantum phenomena in a wide variety of nanometer scale devices
Spatial Sciences
The prime objective of the PhD programme within the Graduate School of Spatial Sciences at University of Groningen is to provide PhD researchers with a solid basis for independent research.
Environmental Biology
Within the PhD programme Environmental Biology at Utrecht University fundamental life processes of plants and microbes are studied at different organizational levels, from molecules and cells to plants, animal and entire ecosystems.
