The Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) Graduate School offers talented Master's students the opportunity to become PhD candidates in Behavioural Science. If you are interested, we invite you to apply for our 2020 PhD positions.

State in your application the key words that represent your research interests. Then pick one or more of these interests and describe in detail one study that you would like to conduct. In addition, outline the fit of this study within a larger PhD project. Your proposal should align with research conducted at the BSI.

The proposal serves two goals: it is an opportunity to propose new and original research, and it is a demonstration of your current research competencies. If you are selected, your actual project may differ from the proposal. This will be determined together with your supervisors.
