For (Future) Students

Each year, about 15 students gain their PhDs for research carried out at Nikhef. They are employed at a Dutch university as a trainee research assistant. The PhD students are part of the Research School for Subatomic Physics.

The Research School's programme consists of a selection of the standard lecture programmes at the various participating universities and a range of other seminars, lectures, et cetera. In addition to this, each year the PhD student attends the Topical Lectures and during the first two years he or she attends the Summer School as well.
