In order to defend a PhD at Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR), you must meet a number of admission requirements.

Everyone who has obtained a Dutch master’s degree (in accordance with the WHW, the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act), an ir. (engineering graduate), mr. (law graduate) or drs. (other graduates) degree.

Candidates with a non-Dutch diploma should contact the Admissions office in good time so that their non-Dutch diploma’s can be accredited. This procedure can take up to six months.

Provisional admission is possible on the grounds of other Dutch diplomas or non-Dutch diplomas (see Section 2 of the PhD defence rules). Candidates with an HBO degree, on or before 31 August 2002 (with at least 168 credits), can be admitted to take their PhD.

PhD candidates may be EUR employees, but you can also work on a thesis under the supervision of a professor (supervisor) of the EUR if you are not from the EUR
