I am working as a PhD student in Utrecht University Medical Center. Based on my experience, it is hard for a Chinese to get a clinical-oriented PhD position here, since it requires a perfect Dutch-speaking skill. You shouldn't expect English environment in a clinical department due to the fact that you have to deal with Dutch patients. However, if you want to do basic-research-oriented PhD projects, there are plenty of choices, namely, medical centers in Leiden, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Nijmegen, and Maastricht. |
