Overview

The Experimental Medicine program at Technical University of Munich consists of a scientific project that usually takes 3 years to finish, during which the candidates must fulfill the qualifying program.

Features

Program elements consist of, among other, individually curated subject-specific courses and submission of a first-author publication to a scientific journal.

With the financial support of TUM-GS the candidates can also plan a variety of international research stays (limited due to the current covid-19 situation).

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The program includes one year of full-time lab work as well as two more years of part-time research. All doctoral candidates also receive scientific training and get a position as a student assistant (ca. 800 euros per month) for the first 12 months of their research phase.

Up to 15 students can be enrolled and funded every year in order to carry out their research projects within the doctoral program in Translational Medicine. According to the broad spectrum of research fields, our doctoral students can be involved in all areas of research both in experimental and in clinical projects.

Other requirements

General requirements

The applicant must present a degree from a higher education institution in another country that is equivalent to a German master’s degree (see above).

As soon as an applicant has submitted the necessary documents to register as a doctoral candidate with the relevant degree-awarding institution, the Examination Office reviews the degree to determine whether it is equivalent. This review process takes place in cooperation with the Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen (ZAB) in Bonn and may take several weeks. At the end of the process, the Examination Office issues a recommendation.

The determination of equivalence is made by the dean of the degree-awarding institution. If the degree is not entirely equivalent to a German master’s degree, the dean may admit the applicant to doctoral study on a conditional basis.
