FOKUS Life Sciences

have finished your BSc programme (or are close to completion) with astrong foundation in the natural sciences(biology, chemistry, physics)

have excellent theoretical knowledge

want to embark on a doctoral thesis project as quickly as possible

are willing and able to take on a high workload to achieve that goal

are very independent and self-organised (this is not a classroom programme)

want to study together with a highly international group of peers

are truly fully proficient in reading and speaking English, but especially also inwriting in English, our teaching language

are keen to work in a very interdisciplinary environment

You lack experimental research experience (practical courses or methodological internships cannot substitute research).

Your main career goal is an MSc degree.

Your main objective it to study any programme taught in English.

You have only a basic education in the natural sciences: study programmes that have a mostly technical/applied content such as nursing, laboratory technology, industrial biotechnology, fisheries science, etc., are not normally a sufficient prerequisite to apply, and neither are medical/veterinary programmes.
