PhD students require financial support for their research at ITC. This support needs to meet the costs of travel to/from the Netherlands, accommodation, health insurance and other living costs in the Netherlands, direct research costs, and tuition, residence permit and study permit fees; the amounts are detailed in the PhD Protocol. Prospective applicants for PhD research at ITC who have not already secured this funding may wish to consider applying for a fellowship.
