About

The Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS) at University of Würzburg provides doctoral researchers with structured doctoral training. In return, the doctoral researcher has to meet additional requirements in order to successfully compete our graduate program. 

Overview

The mandatory Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS) at University of Würzburg elements of the core training program are: 

  • Annual Progress Reports (Start-up meeting ~3 months after start of PhD project, at least 3 annual progress meetings) documenting meetings between the doctoral researcher and her/his thesis committee.  An annual meeting is required for each year of experimental work. Find the start-up and annual report forms here
  • Research Seminars (Lab Meeting, Literature Seminar & Jour Fixe) - these are organized by the lab the doctoral researcher joins as well as the research training group
  • Retreat or Summer School; annually; Retreat: “period of group withdrawal under supervision”; Summer School: “academic session for remedial or supplementary study”. Organized by the research group, the graduate training group or the doctoral researchers
  • International Meetings/Symposia; in total ≥ 3 with active scientific contribution, for example presenting a poster or holding a talk (local events with international participation and in English language are creditable)
  • At least one Scientific First Author Publication (shared first authorship is also accepted) in a peer-reviewed international journal. Only "Research Articles" publishing original results are eligible (no reviews, opinion pieces etc.). If questions arise regarding this regulation, please contact the GSLS office.
  • One Elective Activity per semester enrolled (six for a three year PhD project). 

Programme Structure

  • The GSLS especially recommends the general lecture of the FOKUS Master Life Sciences course, which provides a great overview of the research community in Würzburg.

  • The GSLS also organizes the lecture series Clinical Medicine for doctoral researchers, MD students, MSc students and students of the course Biomedicine. In this series, lecturers present their research in the border zone between basic life science research and clinical applications. This lecture series is only held in summer semesters.

  • There are also established lecture series like the BZ-Kolloquium  or the Mikrobiologisches Kolloquium, which present invited speakers on interesting and varied topics. If you are looking for food for thought or simply to expand your scientific horizon you should check out these events.
