Doctorate Board
The Doctorate Board is, among other things, responsible for the awarding of doctorates and the doctorate honoris causa, and for the general policies regarding PhD programs and the PhD regulations.
From each school a professor has a position in the Doctorate Board of Tilburg University. In most cases this will be either the dean or the vice-dean of research.
