In this session, you’ll learn what it entails to do a PhD, by getting to know five PhD students from the faculty of Economics and Business at University of Amsterdam. How do you decide whether a PhD might be something for you? How to find a PhD position that matches your interests? What are a PhD’s typical day-to-day tasks? What type of jobs can you do after your PhD? The PhD students will tell you about their research and personal story. This is followed by a speed-dating session with all PhD’s, with ample room for all your questions.
