Chemistry and Molecular Sciences
Chemistry leads us to the building blocks of life and matter, from the nano-level of the atom and molecules to the macroscopic substances of which the universe around us is made of. It leads us from the most simple molecules, from which billions of years ago life developed to the modern nanotechnolgy. We offer a Chemistry and Molecular Sciences degree at University of Bern.
Chemistry and Chemical Engineering
The doctoral program in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne provides an educational and research environment in chemical sciences and engineering.
Plant Science and Policy
The PSC PhD Program in Plant Science and Policy at the ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is designed for researchers in the natural sciences wishing to acquire additional tools at the interfaces of research, policy, and diverse stakeholders. The program is open to motivated students in the life sciences, environmental sciences, earth sciences and agricultural sciences.
Applied Ocean Science and Engineering
Applied Ocean Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a discipline that combines basic research on a wide range of oceanic processes with applied research and engineering design of systems for the exploration, measurement, mapping, prediction, and beneficial use of the oceans.
Chemistry
Innovative science. Meaningful outreach. Modern pedagogy. Donuts on Fridays. One of these things is not like the others. All of them belong. At the Chemistry program of Emory University, we know that great research and teaching takes place in the context of an engaged community.
Physics
Our Physics program at Clark University, which offers a Ph.D. in experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics and biophysics, emphasizes active learning — with research beginning in a student’s first semester.
Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology
The Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology program of Emory University combines these complementary disciplines, into an interdisciplinary doctoral training program of the highest caliber.
Mathematics
The Mathematics department at Boston College offers a selective and focused doctoral program for talented students specializing in three broad research areas: Geometry/Topology, Number Theory/Representation Theory, and Algebraic Geometry.
Comparative Biochemistry
Comparative Biochemistry from University of California, Berkeley offers unique opportunities for students to obtain the Ph.D. degree in a broad range of disciplines that use biochemical and molecular approaches to problems in the biological sciences.
Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology
The Graduate Program in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB) is interdisciplinary in nature and emphasizes an integrative approach to the discipline, combining the talents of more than 100 PhD students and 130 faculty from multiple departments in seven colleges. The Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology programme is offered by The Ohio State University.
Physics
Every year, the Boston College Department of Physics welcomes approximately ten new students into its graduate program.
Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics
This Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics programme from University of Cambridge, is a three to four-year research programme culminating in submission and examination of a thesis containing substantial original work. PhD students carry out their research under the guidance of a supervisor, and research projects are available from the wide range of subjects studied within the Department.
Pharmacology
The Pharmacology programme from the University of Cambridge, students undertake a period of supervised research and are expected to submit a thesis for examination within their fourth year at the latest. Students also attend relevant lectures and seminars and participate in skills development activities.
Biochemistry
Gain expertise in scientific research in Biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Montreal.
Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology
Contribute to the development of scientific research in the fields of cardiovascular physiology or molecular physiology and biophysics. We offer a Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology degree at the University of Montreal.
Microbiology and Immunology
The Microbiology and Immunology program from the University of Zurich is under the umbrella of 'Life Science Graduate School Zurich' includes a written dissertation about an independent scientific research project.
Pharmacology
Pharmacology at Cornell University is the science of drugs, their chemical and biochemical properties, and their interactions with live cells, tissues and organisms. In the past 60 years, pharmacology has changed biology and medicine dramatically.
Chemistry
The emphasis of the Chemistry program of the Wake Forest University is on close interaction between faculty and students. This ensures that the students develop to their full potential as quickly as possible. Choice of a research adviser is usually completed by the end of the first semester, and students begin their research during the second semester.
Biotechnology and Bioengineering
The Doctoral Program in Biotechnology and Bioengineering (EDBB) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne provides doctoral students with the education necessary to be leaders in the fast-growing industrial and academic biotechnology and bioengineering sectors.
Biological Anthropology
The Biological Anthropology from University of Cambridge, is an opportunity for original research leading to a thesis within a structured research environment that encourages both independence and collaboration.
