PhD student
Stay abroad for PhD students is coordinated by the Graduate School. Possibilities are limited, however it is not impossible! It is important that things are clear with regard to the consequences of a stay abroad for the progress of your PhD work. Please contact the supervisor of your PhD thesis and the coordinator of the Graduate School at an early stage to discuss your plans, the purpose of you stay abroad et cetera.
There are private funds you can apply to for extra funding. These funds can be found, for example, on www.beursopener.nl and www.scholarshipportal.eu. These databases offer information regarding grant opportunities for your specific situation. Make sure you start this procedure in good time, as some funds have strict deadlines!
Note: at the beursopener website, click both on''t alen en filologie, kunst en geesteswetenschappen' as well as 'gedrag en maatschappij: sociale wetenschappen' to find the various options for grants regarding PhD studies at the faculty of Arts.

Dutch Institutes
At various locations in the world Dutch Institutes are located. These institutes are created by a joint consortium of Dutch universities to facilitate research and collaboration in a specific region. In addition, the Dutch Institutes have hosting facilities and have created study/research programmes in which (Dutch) PhD students are able to participate or can apply for a scholarship to fund their stay at the Dutch Institute.
Note: previously the Dutch institutes facilitated only Dutch nationals, now all students regardless nationality from Dutch universities may apply. However, some funding/scholarships of the Dutch Institutions are still limited to nationality.
