VRIJE UNIVERSITY AMSTERDAM-NRF DESMOND TUTU DOCTORAL PROGRAMME

SECOND CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR DOCTORAL SCHOLARSHIPS

Vrije University (VU) Amsterdam has established the Desmond Tutu Programme in honour of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond M. Tutu. This Programme focuses on the theme Youth, Sports and Reconciliation and aims to strengthen the co-operation between VU Amsterdam and South African Higher Education Institutions.

In support of the drive to increase the number of South African doctoral graduates, VU Amsterdam and the National Research Foundation (NRF) have introduced the Vrije University Amsterdam– NRF Desmond Tutu Doctoral Programme for South African students seeking to pursue research doctoral studies.

We invite potential South African students to apply for Vrije University Amsterdam–NRF Desmond Tutu Doctoral scholarships. The format will be a sandwich programme in which students will:

  • Register and obtain their research doctoral degrees from VU Amsterdam;
  • Be jointly supervised by academic researchers at VU Amsterdam and a South African Higher Education Institution;
  • If required, complete required coursework for doctoral studies both in South Africa and in the Netherlands;
  • Spend between one (1) and two (2) months per year over a period of four (4) years at VU Amsterdam to undertake course and thesis related work; and
  • Carry out their research in South Africa.

Complete applications are due on Wednesday, 31 March 2010.
