MSc / PhD Fellowships in Molecular Biosciences / Biotechnology, Heidelberg University, Germany

HBIGS explores innovative ways to integrate the Masters programs with the PhD program by offering an integrated MSc/PhD program.

Eligibility
The MSc/PhD program is targeted at outstanding students with a Bachelor degree in biosciences, mathematics, chemistry, physics, computational sciences, pharmacy, and engineering.

About the program
Doctoral researchers enrolled in the MSc/PhD program will receive a Masters degree (after submitting an experimental Masters thesis) and a PhD (after submitting an experimental PhD thesis) with the dissertation phase. The MSc/PhD program emphasizes research-based training, problem-solving and critical-thinking skills and the development of individual interests.

Moreover, the concept combines the two years of the Masters program with the 3 to 3.5 years of the PhD phase into one continuous period of 5 to 5.5 years devoted to research-based training and individual research (Figure 14). Students will attend lectures and tutorials from 8.00 – 10.00 in the morning during the first semester, and lectures and tutorials in specialized areas, according to their interest and the topic of the individual research during the second semester. After 10.00 am students participate in lab rotations (four from at least two different majors) during the first year. Every second week MSc/PhD students gather for a 60 min research seminar where two of the students will give a scientific progress report in form of an oral presentation. This meeting will be attended by the tutors of the MSc/PhD students (see below), the direct supervisors of the MSc/PhD students, the director of HBIGS, a representative of the Deans Office and the teaching coordinator. The event will unwind with an informal get-together. After two years the MSc/PhD students will submit an experimental thesis and take the examination to obtain a Masters degree in Biosciences. Provided the students excel they will continue their research project and, after an additional 3 to 3.5 years, submit their doctoral thesis. Those students who are not qualified will leave the program with an MSc degree.

PhD Studentship in Animal Production, Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy

The University of Milan announces a competition by selection on the basis of academic qualifications for the admission of non EU citizens to the following Research Doctorate/Ph.D. degree course:

GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ANIMAL HEALTH AND PRODUCTION: SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGIES

The aim of the School is to train young scholars to be capable of using innovative methodologies to develop advanced research that, starting out from an understanding of how animal organisms function, enables them to intervene at different levels for the ultimate purpose of maintaining animal health and fitness, identifying the causes of pathologies, improving production and safeguarding public health by controlling widespread, potentially zoonotic diseases and controlling the healthiness of foods with an animal origin, without neglecting the need to protect the environment. In this way, partnerships and exchanges of scientific and didactic experiences between lecturers and postgraduate students from different disciplinary backgrounds will be encouraged, so as to generate a culturally stimulating environment and to diversify and improve on the training on offer.

The lecturers involved in the three PhD courses, which constitute an homogeneous nucleus in terms of cultural preparation, areas of scientific interest and methodological approaches, will guarantee a good degree of integration of their training capacities, while maintaining the specific diversities of the areas represented.

Requirements
Applications for selection are invited from non EU citizens who do not come within the purview of Italian Legislative Decree N° 286, dated 25 July 1998, as amended by Law N° 189, dated 30 July 2002 and hold a foreign degree. The candidates’ degrees will be recognised as equivalent to the Italian “Laurea magistrale” (exclusively for the purposes of this competition) by the competent Academic Board.
