The International Giessen Graduate School for the Life Sciences (GGL) invites applicants for the

Doctoral Program in the Life Sciences

The Doctoral Programs consist of a three-year interdisciplinary graduate course curriculum combined with an experimental project leading to a dissertation. Each doctoral researcher will be supervised by two professors from different faculties and will benefit from our Doctoral Development Programme. Seminars and courses are conducted in English, and funding for German language courses is offered for international students.

D., Dr. med., Dr. med. dent., Dr. biol. hom., Dr. med. vet., Dr. biol. anim., Dr. phil., Dr. rer. nat., Dr. agr. and Dr. oec. troph).

A Master's degree or equivalent is required for admission.
