PhD in Biological Sciences

The University of Nicosia awards a PhD in Biological Sciences to students who complete a research-centred doctorate and want to carry out independent scientific work. It lasts three years, carries 180 ECTS credits and is taught in English, with both full-time and part-time study possible. Candidates build advanced theoretical understanding and practical research skills in current areas of the biological sciences. The curriculum encourages interdisciplinary collaboration, includes industry partnerships and offers chances for professional development, combining academic rigour with real-world application. The programme prepares graduates for careers in universities, industry and research institutions in different countries. On completion, students will have reached the final level of formal academic qualification, so there is no higher degree to progress to. The programme page also provides an academic path and a semester breakdown.
