Course description
A PhD degree at Wageningen University can only be obtained when the thesis is accompanied by a set of 6-8 propositions. These propositions are submitted together with the reading version of the thesis and are evaluated by the academic board. When not approved the thesis cannot be defended. Hence it is essential that PhD candidates are well aware of the rules, regulations, does and don’ts regarding the propositions.
This short workshop discusses the propositions of the PhD thesis at Wageningen University. Besides a lecture on propositions, participants can submit their (draft) propositions which will be presented and discussed.
Given that it requires time and thought to write good propositions, it is highly recommended to start working on propositions from the onset of the PhD and therefore also follow this workshop early in the PhD.
