Doctoral training

The Arenberg Doctoral School aims at training doctoral researchers both as future scientists and as scientifically trained professionals. The core of the doctoral training is doing research. In addition to research as an instrument for training and development, doctoral researchers also follow more formal training via seminars, workshops, summer schools and other course components.

In order for foctoral researchers to be employable in a broad range of high qualified positions, transferable skills are a necessary part of the doctoral training programme.

PhD?

What does a PhD programme involve besides the research? Aren't there already too many PhD holders? What is the added value of a PhD? Will doing a PhD make me feel depressed? Are universities training PhD researchers too much to be specialist? What is the value of a PhD as a first step in my career?

These and more questions are being raised in articles and online media and they have inspired KU Leuven to invest in more support for PhD researchers.

Discover some of the actions that we are taking to help you get the best out of your PhD!
