Doctor of Philosophy [Ph.D] (Molecular Physiology of the Brain)
Field of Study:
€600/Yr
The program is designed for graduates from all areas of life sciences and medicine and provides them with comprehensive training in key methods of modern molecular and cellular neurobiology such as biochemistry, molecular biology, cell staining, and imaging, electrophysiology, systems physiology, light and electron microscopy, and genetics in at least one classical model organism. This is achieved by combining the expertise of local scientists whose skills cover all relevant technical and conceptual requirements. The ultimate aim is to educate a new generation of young neuroscientists with an open-minded conceptual approach and a methodological repertoire that allows them to tackle the key future problems in molecular, cellular, and systems neuroscience.

Doctoral students who receive a scholarship from public German funding schemes (e.g. DAAD, Max Planck Society) will pay a reduced fee (by $91.36) upon presentation of their scholarship confirmation to the Registrar's Office prior to paying the semester fees.
Eligibility & Entry Requirement
Academic Eligibility:
- Students can only apply for admission with a confirmation of supervision.
- Short abstract of your Ph.D. thesis (1/2 to 1 A4-page)
- Master's degree with very good grades in the natural sciences or mathematics, including a Master's thesis with a minimum duration of six months. Please note that due to the peculiarities of the German university system, medical degrees are not considered equivalent to an MSc in the natural sciences.
- In the case of MSc degrees from abroad, it may be that the faculty requests the fulfillment of additional requirements before admission to doctoral studies (e.g. an oral exam, a written progress report after 6 months, etc.).
Indian Eligibility:
Indian students are eligible to apply if they meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Candidates have to be fluent in written and spoken English. Candidates whose mother tongue is not English can demonstrate sufficient knowledge of English e.g. by having completed MSc studies in English or by internationally recognized tests such as TOEFL or IELTS or equivalent achievements.
