International exchanges for students
DoA is building international exchange programs with other world leading universities. Interested students are encouraged to contact astronomy faculty or Chair for these opportunities.

The program started on November 1, 2020, with an implementation period of 5 years. The two departments set up a joint Program Board responsible for the selection of the candidates (up to 2 outstanding applicants per year). Each candidate will have one supervisor based at Leiden University and one based at Tsinghua University, and shall sign a PhD Agreement with both parties in accordance with training rules and plans. After completing the doctoral examination, the candidate will receive a doctoral certificate from each university.
