Philosophiae Doctor (Ph. D.)
90 credits
Dissertation or thesis track
This doctorate program provides in-depth training in biomedical and basic research with a seminar course and as much time as possible dedicated to laboratory work.
The program gives students a background in biochemistry and molecular biology research. Students will carry out a laboratory research project under the supervision of an experienced professor or researcher. Once they finish their projects, which generally take between two and five years, graduates can directly enter the job market or continue their training with a postdoctoral fellowship that may eventually lead to a research position.
