PhD training programmes are offered through Maastricht University’s graduate schools and research institutes. These programmes often have a number of required courses and also include optional courses that you can take. You will need to pay tuition fees for most programmes, though the fees vary per programme. There are a limited number of scholarships and grants available for which you can apply.
