Master in Promotietraject Radiotherapie

At the intersection of advanced clinical physics, radiobiology, and oncology, the PhD trajectory in Radiotherapy at Erasmus MC offers a multidisciplinary environment where research is directly translated into patient care. You will join an active community of over 20 PhD candidates, working within a department that bridges the gap between technical innovation and clinical implementation.

Research-driven clinical innovation

The programme is designed for aspiring independent researchers who wish to push the boundaries of cancer treatment. You will have the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research themes, including:

• Artificial Intelligence in radiotherapy planning
• Proton therapy (in partnership with HollandPTC)
• Hypofractionated radiotherapy
• Brachytherapy and hyperthermia
• The use of biomarkers in treatment optimization

Beyond individual bench and clinical work, you become part of the Erasmus MC Graduate School, providing a structured curriculum in academic writing, research methodology, statistics, and scientific integrity. Whether your focus is pre-clinical or clinical, the programme culminates in the defense of a thesis and the attainment of the Doctor (Dr.) title.
