Program details

Overview

The doctoral programme in Biology rests mainly on original research and elective activities, such as workshops, courses, seminars and training in visiting laboratories, rather than on lectures. Candidates can shape their own curriculum around their research needs. The field spans fundamental and applied topics, from ecology and nature protection to molecular biology and biomedicine. Teaching is based on scientific projects and on methods used across biology subfields. Most dissertation work is carried out in laboratories of the Department of Biology or partner institutions. Supervisors are active scientists, and the results support clinical practice, veterinary medicine, agronomy, biotechnology and nature protection.
