Other requirements
General requirements
- Admission to the IB requires that the candidate has successfully finished Bachelor’s and Master’s Studies.
- As IB scientists provide courses within the Molecular & Cellular Life Sciences Master’s programme of the Utrecht University Graduate School of Life Sciences, high potential students are often already selected and invited during this Master’s programme to apply for a PhD position within the IB.
- However, to select the best candidates we do not restrict recruitment for the IB PhD positions to our own Master’s students, but advertise both nationally and internationally.
- The strong competition with international candidates for positions will ensure that only the best students will be selected.
