  • Research funding

PhD candidates come in all shapes and sizes, from those with an appointment at the University to dual PhDs who have a job outside the University. Here we explain which PhD places we have at Leiden University, so you can quickly see which type suits you.

Funded PhD candidates

The University may appoint full or part-time PhD candidates. Most PhD candidates have a funded place as a PhD candidate. A full-time place is in principle a four-year appointment with 10% teaching duties. PhD candidates sometimes choose to do a cotutelle or joint doctorate . You can also be appointed as a PhD fellow. This is a six-year appointment with 35% teaching duties.

See our job vacancies for PhD candidates

PhDs without a funded place

Contract PhDs receive a grant in their country of origin, which enables them to conduct PhD research at our university. External PhDs or dual PhDs do not receive any funding in principle. They write their thesis – often alongside their regular work – under the supervision of a supervisor from Leiden. To be accepted as an external PhD, you must have your PhD proposal approved by a Graduate School . The University also has a dual PhD programme to give experienced ‘knowledge workers’ the opportunity to earn a PhD at Leiden University.

The faculty has various categories of doctoral candidates.

Doctoral candidates who are employees

The majority of doctoral candidates are appointed as a PhD Candidate. This appointment is for a period of four years, during which time, besides performing doctoral research, training courses are followed as part of the PhD Training Programme. Most PhD Candidates also have a minor teaching component (maximum 10% of the total period).

Appointment

PhD Candidates are initially appointed for one year, with the possibility to extend this by three years. Within three months of the commencement of the appointment, the PhD Candidate draws up a personal Training en Supervision Plan (TSP) in consultation with the designated supervisor and the Deans of PhD Studies . In the TSP the individual doctoral timeline is set out in detail. This will include, for instance, training courses to be followed to assist in the research.

Evaluation Meeting

Towards the end of the first year an evaluation meeting is held.  The progress of the research is reviewed by a committee including the supervisor, co-supervisor, an external member and the  Dean of PhD Studies, on the basis of the research proposal and a chapter of the dissertation or article. The teaching done and participation on the PhD Training Programme are also reviewed.

More Information

General information about doctoral studies, doctoral theses and the PhD Training Programme can be found in the Rules and Policies .

A PhD Fellow is not just a PhD Candidate, but also has a substantial teaching component amounting to around 35% of the total period. In addition, the courses in the PhD Training Programme are followed. Since the position of PhD Fellow encompasses more tasks than research alone, the appointment is for six years.

A PhD Fellow is appointed for six years, with the possibility to terminate the contract in the intermediate period. Within three months of the commencement of the appointment, the PhD Fellow draws up an individual Training en Supervision Plan (TSP) in consultation with the supervisor and Deans of PhD Studies . In the TSP, the individual PhD timeline is structured. This includes which courses will be followed to assist in the research.

After around one and a half years an evaluation meeting is held. The progress of the research is reviewed by a committee including the supervisor, co-supervisor, an external member and the  Dean of PhD Studies, on the basis of the research proposal and a chapter of the dissertation or article. The teaching done and participation on the PhD Training Programme is also reviewed.

Information about the position of PhD Fellows can be found under Rules and Policies for PhD fellows.

External doctoral candidates

The main task of a Contract PhD Candidate is to carry out doctoral research. This is done with funding from the government of the country of origin.

In general, the duration of the doctoral research is four years. Although a Contract PhD Candidate does not have an appointment at the faculty, the position is equal to appointed PhD Candidates when it comes to training, monitoring of progress and other work conditions (such as workplace, ICT facilities  etc.).

Towards the end of the first year an evaluation meeting is held. At this meeting a committee comprising the supervisor, co-supervisor, external member and Deans of PhD Studies reviews the progress of the research based on the research plan and a chapter of the dissertation or an article. The participation on the PhD Training Programme is also reviewed. 

Information about the position of Contract PhD Candidates can be found under Rules and Policies for Contract PhD Candidates.

Leiden Law School also offers the possibility of pursuing a (non-funded) ‘external’ PhD within the Graduate School of Legal Research. Applications for these positions are accepted throughout the year.

Application Procedure

In order to become an External PhD Candidate you should have a research proposal which fits within the research carried out in the research programmes of the faculty.  A decision on an application for admission to the PhD programme can only be made on the basis of the completed and submitted online form  including the required attachments. The full application must include:

  • a specific, innovative and fairly elaborate proposal;
  • the name of a possible supervisor (professor) whose research interests and area of specialization fit your research proposal ( more information about research and potential supervisors );
  • a completed Master-degree which should be the equivalent of a LL.M. or Master degree obtained in The Netherlands including the corresponding list of grades;
  • an English language test score of 100 (TOEFL) or 7.0 (IELTS), unless the candidate is a native speaker;
  • at least one published article/chapter relevant to the field of the proposed research.

External PhD Candidates have to make their own arrangements for the funding of their research and living costs. External funding possibilities can be explored with your supervisor(s). Paid positions as employed PhD candidate at Leiden Law School are advertised at https://vacancies.leiden.edu .

Until now, becoming an external PhD candidate at Leiden University in most cases does not involve paying a fee.

However, some subdepartments which offer a PhD-track charge a fee: see for example the  International Institute of Air and Space Law ,  The Van Vollenhoven Institute  and the Grotius Center for International Legal Studies ).

At least two professors detained during Emory University protests

From CNN's Nick Valencia

Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin is detained by police on Thursday at Emory University in Atlanta.

A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including Emory University economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department.

CNN filmed video of women being detained. During her interaction with police, Professor Fohlin could be heard expressing concern about the violent arrests and use of force by police against individuals she identified as students. 

CAIR condemns “use of force and arrests” at Emory University

From CNN's Chandelis Duster, Devon Sayers and Nick Valencia

A Georgia State Patrol officer detains a protester on the campus of Emory University during a demonstration on Thursday in Atlanta.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations chapter in Georgia on Thursday condemned the “use of force and arrests” by police officers against protesters at Emory University in Atlanta.

“Protesters shared a day of cultural learning and community despite which Emory deployed excessive use of force, tear gas, and rubber bullets,” the organization said in a statement. “Emory University and APD fully bear responsibility for the violence we are seeing at the Emory campus right now. Students and protesters must be allowed their full constitutional rights.”

Protesters were arrested on the campus of Emory University after an encampment was formed in the university quad area Thursday morning.

Video from the scene showed law enforcement officers wrangling protesters to the ground and forcefully putting people in zip-tie handcuffs.

Law enforcement officers used pepper spray to help clear the area of demonstrators, a CNN team on the scene reported. They also deployed pepper balls against a crowd gathered around protesters that had been detained by police. 

ACLU of Texas calls on state officials to create safe spaces for students to protest

From CNN's Lauren Mascarenhas and Jeremy Grisham 

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Texas warned against state and university officials deploying law enforcement to “violently censor” protests held by pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the University of Texas at Austin and other universities across the nation.

“The First Amendment guarantees people in Texas and across the nation the right to protest, including those who advocate for Palestinians,” a statement from the group read. “However, state leaders rapidly escalated a planned day of peaceful demonstrations by deploying law enforcement in riot gear against students and the press. Public officials don’t get to forcefully suppress the voices of people they disagree with.”

Dozens of protesters were arrested at UT Austin Wednesday.

In its statement, the ACLU of Texas called on state officials to create safe spaces for students, staff and faculty to protest.

Emerson president offers grief counseling to students after protests lead to more than 100 arrests

From CNN's Samantha Delouya

Emerson College President Jay Bernhardt said he "recognizes and respects the civic activism and passion that sparked the protest" in a statement Thursday after law enforcement officials cleared a pro-Palestinian tent encampment at the school, leading to dozens of arrests on Wednesday night.

"Emerson staff and administrators were at the scene, focused on supporting our students through this highly stressful situation and seeking to de-escalate the conflict," Bernhardt said. "Today, Emerson officials were at the police precincts and courthouses with the arrested students, and the College will receive them back on campus when they are released."

More than 100 people were arrested and four police officers were injured during the encampment clearing at the Boston liberal arts college, according to the Boston Police Department.

Bernhardt said that he understood that the encampment clearing "has significantly and adversely impacted our community" and offered students the support of grief counselors on campus on Thursday.

Prosecutor drops charges against dozens of protesters arrested at UT-Austin Wednesday

From CNN's Ashley Killough

Texas State Troopers on horseback arrive on campus during a protest on the campus of the University of Texas in Austin on April 24.

Following Wednesday’s arrests of dozens of protesters on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin, the local prosecutor’s office says 46 cases have already been dismissed.

“The Travis County Attorney’s Office received several cases yesterday and throughout the evening as a result of yesterday’s demonstration at the University of Texas,” said spokesperson Diana Melendez with the Travis County Attorney’s Office Thursday. “Legal concerns were raised by defense counsel. We individually reviewed each case that was presented and agreed there were deficiencies in the probable cause affidavits.” 

The prosecutor’s office says the court ordered those protesters to be released. “We will continue to individually review all cases presented to our office to determine whether prosecution is factually and legally appropriate,” said Melendez.

Students rally at Georgetown University, march to encampment at George Washington University

From CNN's Lauren Koenig

Protesters rally at George Washington University on Thursday in Washington, DC.

At Georgetown University in Washington, DC, a crowd of pro-Palestinian protesters filled about one-third of the circular driveway in front of Healy Hall, the main administrative building on campus.

The crowd remained peaceful as organizers spoke and led chants of "free Palestine" and "from the river to the sea." The crowd then marched to the encampment at George Washington University, led by several professors wearing graduation regalia.

At the GW encampment, dozens of tents filled about one-quarter of the campus' University Yard.

“There is only one solution, intifada revolution, intifada intifada, long live the intifada," the demonstrators chanted, holding signs reading "Resistance is justified when people are occupied!" "Stop the invasion!" and "Ceasefire now!"

Cheers erupted when the marchers from Georgetown arrived on GW's campus, with continued chants for "intifada revolution." The Georgetown students were escorted into the GW encampment.

Two arrested for trespassing at Princeton University Thursday during protest

From CNN's Samantha Kelly and Taylor Romine

Two graduate students at Princeton University in New Jersey were arrested Thursday morning for trespassing, the university said in a statement.

People started gathering for a protest Thursday when "a small number began erecting about a half-dozen tents," the statement said.

"After repeated warnings from the Department of Public Safety to cease the activity and leave the area, two graduate students were arrested for trespassing," the statement said, adding that the students are not allowed on campus pending a disciplinary process.

The tents were taken down by protesters, they said, but protests at the university are still underway.

On Wednesday, the university  put out a message to students  sharing the university's policy on protests.

"In addition to disrupting University operations, some types of protest actions (including occupying or blocking access to buildings, establishing outdoor encampments and sleeping in any campus outdoor space) are inherently unsafe for both those involved and for bystanders, and they increase the potential for escalation and confrontation," the message said.

NYPD Chief: “Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law”

From CNN’s Chris Boyette and Caroll Alvarado

As the deadline for negotiations between protesters and Columbia University officials about clearing the encampment on its lawn nears, one high-ranking New York Police Department chief said the students are learning an important lesson.

“Columbia decided to hold its students accountable to the laws of the school. They are seeing the consequences of their actions. Something these kids were most likely never taught,” Chief John Chell, NYPD Chief of Patrol, wrote in a lengthy  post on X . “Good SAT scores and self-entitlement do not supersede the law.” 

The chief’s message came in response to an  X post  from Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in which the New York congresswoman questioned Columbia’s decision to call the NYPD on their own students.

Chell also expressed frustration at what he said were students' “hateful anti-Semitic speech and vile language towards our cops.”

CNN has reached out to the NYPD for comment on the chief’s statements and Ocasio-Cortez’s office for reaction.

Pro-Palestinian encampment forms at George Washington University

From CNN's Taylor Romine 

Protesters are seen at George Washington University in Washington, DC, on Thursday.

George Washington University has joined a growing list of schools across the nation where Pro-Palestinian demonstrators are forming encampments on school campuses, according to videos posted by The GW Hatchet student newspaper.

The encampment was organized by students at multiple universities across the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia, a group representing the coalition of Students for Justice in Palestine  said in a post on Instagram .

The encampment is a “united demonstration of our power, uplifting our collective demands for financial transparency, boycotts and divestment from the zionist state, and an end to the racist repression pro-Palestine students," the post said.

In a statement to CNN, George Washington University said it is aware of about 50 students gathering on the University Yard with about 20 tents, in addition to non-students. The university said the protest has remained peaceful.

George Washington Police Department officers and other university officials have responded to the protest, and the school said it is coordinating with the DC Metropolitan Police Department.
