Post-master opportunities
Instead of pursuing a professional career right after obtaining your Master’s degree, you can opt for an academic career by completing a PhD. You can follow a PhD programme at the Twente Graduate School (TGS).
Continue as a researcher: obtain a PhD
A PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) entails studying and carrying out research in a particular area for four years. You can do this within one of our research groups or our structured PhD programmes. An integral part of a PhD is writing your PhD thesis and presenting and defending your research publicly. Obtaining a PhD gives you the title Doctor (Dr).
