Utrecht Centre for

Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation

Phd programme.

Background The Utrecht Centre for Pharmaceutical Policy and Regulation offers an international high quality PhD-programme for professionals with several years of relevant work experience. The unique format of the programme combines academic research and public health practice requiring candidates to use their work experience, data and policy issues as input for their PhD-thesis. The Utrecht Centre is a leading platform for independent multidisciplinary research which links drug regulation, pharmacoepidemiology, public health and policy analysis.

The Centre is based at the Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Clinical Pharmacology of Utrecht University in the Netherlands, an internationally acclaimed research institute, and works closely with many well-known international partners such as the World Health Organization and the European Medicines Agency as well as with national partners such as the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board and the National Health Care Institute.

Research Themes

The work of the Centre concentrates on the design and evaluation of pharmaceutical policies with a focus on Global Health, Drug Regulatory Science (e.g. drug approval) and health technology assessment (e.g. drug access, pricing and reimbursement).

The Infection & Immunity PhD program is a multidisciplinary research program that will prepare PhD candidates for a career focused on challenges and solutions that affect the lives of millions around the globe. Our PhD program was formed in 1993 and has proven itself over the decades. We connect immunologists, infectious disease physicians, paediatricians, bacteriologists, virologists, chemists and cell biologist to study and fight elements in infectious diseases and immunological disorders. We have assembled groups that do outstanding research. Not only in basic microbiology and immunology, but also in the field where the two research areas meet.

Wilsem, Erna van

Coordinator phd program.

Our PhD candidates are professional researchers. We believe that their research project and thesis should be their main concern during their PhD track. Therefor our curriculum consists of monthly seminars by leading international researchers, weekly in-depth lectures by guest lecturers, yearly meetings with your peers and advanced courses in Immunology and Infectious diseases

Besides these activities, we encourage our PhD candidates to obtain new skills at the  GS-LS course centre , to visit (international) symposia and conferences, and to participate in professional courses pertinent to their own research projects.

Application

To enter the PhD programme Infection & Immunity, you must have a position as a PhD student at the Utrecht University. Only after obtaining a PhD position, you can fill out our application form.

Practical matters

Who do you deal with during your PhD? And what's more to a PhD trajectory than conducting a research project resulting in a PhD thesis? Find out in these two handy infographics.

PhD Psychologist

The PhD psychologist offers psychological support when it comes to psychological problems caused by the promotion process or that have a direct effect on it. The support lies in between the help offered by staff welfare service and the general mental healthcare service (GGZ). The costs for an intake interview are 25 euros, I & I will reimburse these costs for our PhD students. After the initial appointment any further appointments are free of charge.

Since the doctorate level academic training program is an individualized training program, we advise you to keep a portfolio of all educational activities you attend during your PhD track. You may use this portfolio to apply for a certificate from the Utrecht University Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS).

The portfolio consists of courses and practical training aimed at acquiring specific academic skills, general scientific skills or transferable skills. It may also include other activities such as attending conferences, seminars and master classes, participation in retreats and journal clubs. Courses can be taken at the Graduate School or elsewhere.

For its courses, the Graduate School adheres to the ECTS system: workload of 28 hours = 1 EC. There is no formal requirement for a minimum amount of courses, hours or EC's. The Graduate School recommends 20 EC for PhD training during a four-year fulltime PhD project.

Infection & Immunity Utrecht sponsors the theses of its members. An amount of € 100,00 is available per thesis.

Applied Ethics

Doing a Phd

If you have completed your Master's programme, and you are enthusiastic about doing research in your field, then maybe doing a Doctorate (PhD) might be something for you. A Doctor’s degree is the highest academic degree awarded by a Dutch university. You start as 'assistant in training' (aio) or 'researcher in training' (oio).

At Utrecht University

At Utrecht University you take part in education in one of the Graduate Schools and often also teach students. During the four-year PhD programme you work under the guidance of a professor on creating a research project that results in a dissertation or a series of articles in scientific journals. You can search for positions on research projects on offer or a position whereby you are free to submit your own research proposal. Read more on doing a PhD at Utrecht University. 

Other options

The best way to find a PhD position is through networking with the professor in the field you wish to specialize. Another option is to search via www.academictransfer.nl . Here you can also find more information on doing PhD research in the Netherlands.
