Overview

The aim of the "Molecular Biosciences" doctoral programme at University of Bayreuth is to provide young scientists with an excellent education that enables them to contribute creatively to the further development of scientific concepts and to pursue competitive careers in the molecular biosciences.

Features

In addition, the doctoral programme offers interdisciplinary training through research and the promotion of interdisciplinary competencies.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The scientific work on the research project itself forms the core of the doctoral training.

During their doctoral studies, each doctoral candidate is accompanied by a mentoring committee consisting of three scientists.

At the beginning of the doctoral programme, the doctoral candidate develops a research plan that presents the thesis project and is discussed and further developed with his or her mentoring committee.

Annual interim reports serve to regularly evaluate and optimise the progress of the research project.

In addition, each doctoral candidate completes an individual training programme that is optimally geared towards the specific skills and needs of the doctoral candidate, and to the requirements of the scientific doctoral project.
