For excellent Amsterdam UMC students who have recently completed or will soon complete their Master’s programme
In 2026, four Amsterdam UMC PhD Scholarships will be awarded to excellent students in (and limited to) Medicine, Medical Informatics, Biomedical Sciences or Social Sciences.
The Amsterdam PhD scholarships are financed from core government funding. The amount of the scholarship (in 2026: 320kE) covers most of the costs of a four-year appointment as Research Trainee (Onderzoeker in Opleiding) at the Amsterdam UMC.
Nominations can be submitted from 1 September to 1 November, 2025.
