Sandwich PhD external funding

In most cases, students who wish to apply to a Sandwich PhD mobility abroad need to apply to a scholarship. In those cases, the GSMS can provide a Letter of Acceptance. We do so based on information provided to us by the PhD supervisor. They should complete and submit the form available for download below, along with the CV of the candidate.

In case the student will also need to be admitted to the GSMS PhD program, the supervisor should also submit the other documents listed here.

Both candidate and supervisors need to take into account that:

• In general it will take four months for the student to start their stay in Groningen once the scholarship has been awarded. This particularly goes for students with a non-EU nationality who will spend more than 90 days in Groningen, because the University needs to apply for a visa for the student. See also our FAQ section.
• Once the scholarship has been awarded, either the GS will guide practical procedures to bring the student to Groningen (admitted doctoral students), or the GS will instruct the hosting department to do so (visiting doctoral students).
