How to apply
Before you apply for a PhD at the Department of Social Geography and Regional Development, we highly recommend you contact the prospective supervisor and agree on the topic of your dissertation project. How can you choose him/her?
- Go through the thematic areas; the list of possible supervisors is stated for each of the area.
- Choose from the list of prospective supervisors.
- You can choose from the specific positions we offer every year, or you can apply with your own dissertation research under a general topic, which can be found here on the faculty’s website. If a supervisor is pre-assigned, contacting him/her before applying is necessary.
After you choose your supervisor, contact him or her, and discuss the topic of your dissertation project, you can apply through an online application form.
