Toekomstperspectief
As a PhD candidate, you develop strong analytical skills and specialised knowledge. After completing a doctoral programme, a range of career opportunities are available.
Career opportunities
Around 20% of PhD candidates continue working in academia. For example, you may work as a lecturer and/or researcher. The most common next step is to apply for a postdoctoral position (postdoc).
Most PhD candidates pursue careers outside the university. For example, they may find positions in the public sector, the non-governmental sector or in industry.
