Before the doctoral degree
In our faculty, you can undertake doctoral studies in the following subjects: Agricultural Sciences, Biology, Biophysics, Horticultural Sciences and Psychology.
You may only be admitted to a doctoral degree programme once you have found a supervisor for your research project.
If you have already received confirmation from your supervisor, you can go straight to the doctoral study admissions webpage. Or you can find out more about the opportunities offered by the Graduate Centre Life Sciences to accompany your research project.
In case you are still looking for a supervisor, you can find out about the research groups in the Faculty of Life Sciences.
In addition, the biannual Information Event "Doctoral Studies at the Faculty of Life Sciences" informs about relevant issues on doing doctoral studies at our faculty.
