Success in the US

   Thursday 8 March 2012, 19.30-21.30h. 

American universities have an excellent reputation. In many research areas (exact sciences, biomedical sciences and humanities) the States are keyplayers. The presence of an international community of researchers provides a stimulating critical mass at the universities. Do you want to hear about the expertise and the US-experiences of professors, researchers and alumni? Join us at the information session! 

Do you want to do a phd, a post-doc or a master in the States, start as soon as possible with the preparation. If you want to leave for the States immediately after graduation, you should start in the first year of your master (or your third year of your bachelor). The choice of a research group, an excellent university in your field, the selection procedure, the language tests and the financing of your project demand time and energy.

Are you looking for more information about the admission procedure, grants & scholarships and visa regulations? The information session ‘Success in the US’ puts you on the right track!
