CSC PhD project outlines
The multidisciplinary research of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences focuses on a set of themes or research programmes, that are conducted in close collaboration with Maastricht UMC+ (MUMC+) and the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience. The research programmes are embedded in six Schools and two institutes, M4I and MERLN.
