Promotores (doctoral supervisors)

During the pre-PhD phase the Dual PhD Centre collaborates with the candidate to find a suitable doctoral supervisor (Dutch: promotor) and graduate school. The doctoral supervisor has a critical role in the dissertation research process. Under his/her supervision, the candidate develops a dissertation plan based on the research proposal, conducts the research, and reports the research findings. The doctoral supervisor is responsible for the academic quality of the candidate's work.

Under recently changed Dutch law, it is not just full professors that have the right to act as a doctoral supervisor or promotor (Latin; plural promotores), which means they can confer the PhD degree. Our 580 professors of Leiden University's scientific disciplines can act as a doctoral supervisor/promotor at the Dual PhD programme.
