Admission to the PhD-programme

Students are admitted to the PhD-programme through the Department of Molecular Biology, Department of Informatics, or Department of Biomedicine depending on the affiliation of the group the student wants to work with.  For information on admission procedures, please contact your Department.

Admission to MCB

PhD-students who participate in the MCB Introductory Course which is held in the spring term (usually february-march) become members of MCB.  Students starting their PhD at a different time of year may of course sign up for MCB courses and participate in MCB activities prior to the Introductory Course, and then follow the Introductory Course at first chance.
