荷兰经济学博士申请条件

2016-12-05

博士申请不像硕士，招生办按照背景硬性要求来筛选人才。博士更多是看重你的学术科研能力。成绩不是硬性要求。

首先，在荷兰读博士很多都是像找一份工作一样，在学校官网或者专门的网站可以搜寻招人的PhD 项目。除了学校官网，下面这个网站最常用：

每个项目（工作）都会有不同的要求，让我们来看一下University of Amsterdam 这个经济学相关的职位的要求：

可以看到并没有明确提出GPA的要求，这个时候同学就可以通过其他途径来证明自己的学术科研能力，比如发表过论文，参加过相关研究项目或者相关工作经验等等。这些都可以弥补GPA不足的劣势。

除了找工作的形式之外，大家也可以曲线救国，自己写好RP，去套磁导师，寻找合适的博士为止。自己申请CSC或者是自费读博士。这样灵活性更强，也更有余地，GPA这方面相对来说要求也就更低，只要教授同意愿意收你，并且你也符合了Admission Office最低要求，那么即可去走网申流程了。

最后我们来看一下博士申请的要求和递交材料：
