Sandwich PhD students
Sandwich PhD students are international PhD candidates who are not employed by Wageningen University but have a grant and in general only spend the initial and last 6-8 months of the 4-year PhD Programme in Wageningen. The first period is spent elaborating on the proposal, studying literature and following courses, while the last period is spent finishing the thesis. In the intermediate period the PhD candidate performs his/her research in the country of origin. These PhD candidates need to have the support of both their home institute and supervisor at Wageningen University. The actual research takes place in the PhD candidate’s own country under local supervision. During this period, contact with the supervisor in Wageningen is by e-mail and annual visits.
For Sandwich PhD students, the research proposal should preferably be linked to the applicant's country of origin, or of interest to research organisations in the applicant's country of
