PhD at Faculty of Applied Sciences
Faculty of Applied Sciences has more than 200 academic members of staff and approximately 400 post-doctoral researchers and PhD students.
Research at the Faculty of Applied Sciences
Many of the members of academic staff are prize-winning scientists and engineers internationally known in their fields of research. The Faculty is equipped with advanced laboratory and experimental facilities. The Faculty’s research groups participate in various collaborative research groups and organisations. Main topics of research can be found on the websites of the Faculty’s seven departments:
- Bionanoscience - www.bn.tudelft.nl
- Biotechnology - www.bt.tudelft.nl
- Chemical Engineering - www.cheme.tudelft.nl
- Imaging Science and Technology - www.ist.tudelft.nl
- Multi-Scale Physics - www.msp.tudelft.nl
- Quantum Nanoscience - www.qn.tudelft.nl
- Radiation, Radionuclides and Reactors - www.rrr.tudelft.nl
In addition to the PhD trajectory, that in general takes four years, the faculty also offers postgraduate education programmes that take two years and lead to a PDEng title. More information on the PDEng programmes can be found on TNW postgraduate education.
Casimir Research School and Kavli Institute of Nanoscience
The Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at TU Delft, which consists of the Departments of Quantum Nanoscience and Bionanoscience, collaborates with the Leiden Institute of Physics on a joint PhD programme through the Delft-Leiden Casimir Research School.
The Research School conducts research and provides PhD courses in interdisciplinary physics with an emphasis on bionanoscience, quantum nanoscience, materials physics and their applications. For more information see: Casimir Research School
