Letter of acceptance from Wageningen University:
An applicant must have been admitted at a Dutch university or institute. Wageningen University however, cannot formally admit a PhD candidate before the actual start of the PhD programme (i.e. after having evaluated the PhD candidate's qualifications). At this time the needed docuements are not available. This impasse can be overcome by providing an applicant with a provisional letter-of-acceptance. A professor of Wageningen University can write this letter. This letter must state the following:
- Acceptance of the PhD candidate under the condition that he/she can live up to the qualitative requirements of Wageningen University and fulfil the financial obligations at the start of the PhD programme
- Support of the research proposal
- The PhD degree will be pursued according to a Sandwich model
- Guarantee that the PhD candidate will receive a PhD degree upon successful completion of the research and defence of the dissertation
If the candidate is awarded the fellowship, the secretary of the Dean Wageningen Graduate Schools can start arranging the formal admittance to the PhD Programme, and the central Student Administration can provide help with the visa and arrange suitable housing. Of course a complete file of the candidate is necessary. (see 'application' ).
