The educational program requires course work, seminars, colloquia and a visit to a summer school. ILLC organises this part of the PhD program in co-operation with the Dutch Graduate School in Logic. The main part of the program is the writing of a thesis on original research carried out by the student under the supervision of two dissertation supervisors. The student takes part in current ILLC research projects and has all the advantages of this flourishing scientific community. The emphasis in the PhD program lies on teaching the student to become an independent researcher.
Graduates occupy key positions in academic and industrial environments.
There are seven departments in the Science Faculty i.e. Botany, Physics, Genetics and Cellular Biology, Zoology, Geology, Chemistry and Mathematics. The faculty also offered other courses such as Biochemistry, Geography and Education in which case these courses were conducted by other Faculties. Proof of English proficiency is required for admission to graduate studies of students whose native language is not English, except those who have graduated from institutions where the medium of instruction is English.
