Policy

Since our faculty is doing the utmost to offer interactive PhD courses in small groups, the faculty is requesting the commitment of our PhD students not to discontinue a course for other than serious circumstances beyond one's control. In that respect it has been decided that from now on, if a PhD student discontinues a course later than after the first class, this course will be considered as taken but failed. A later cancellation (for other than serious circumstances) will not be possible. 

The above courses are all free of charge for the PhD students of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Antwerp. 

The PhD students of our faculty can as interuniversity student follow the PhD courses at the KU Leuven of following PhD programmes:

• PhD programme in Economics
• PhD programme in Business Economics

The registration period for the second semester courses will be open from January 20th to February 10th, 2025. Please make sure to complete your registration within this timeframe to secure your spot in your desired courses. Registration occurs per semester by sending an email to phd.fbe@uantwerpen.be. 

These courses are free of charge for the PhD students of the Faculty of Business and Economics of the University of Antwerp.

This procedure only applies to the above Phd programmes. Other PhD courses at KU Leuven are considered as individual courses and will have to be approved by the Faculty Doctoral Committee. Registration for individual courses is not supported by the doctoral administration.

If you want to register for one of the offered courses, please follow below steps:

1. Ask the permission of your supervisor to follow the course.

5. With these documents you need to register in person at the Centrale Student administration of the KU Leuven at following address:
   Universiteitshal, Naamsestraat 22, 3000 Leuven.
