PhD in Natural sciences (Biology)

The programme provides research-based training across major fields of biology, including genetics, ecology, zoology, molecular biology, microbiology, hydrobiology, botany, cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, and human and animal physiology. Its core component is a research project supervised by experienced academics, alongside the acquisition of transferable and academic teaching skills. Candidates must pass three theoretical examinations covering their field, specialisation and language, and the award of the degree rests on a thesis presented at an open seminar, with research results required to be published beforehand. Graduates have access to both academic and industrial employment.
