802 Life Sciences PhD Degree Programs

The Ph.D. in Bioengineering is preparing future bioengineering leaders in academia, industry, and government. This program has a proven track record of providing students with educational and research training and experiences that integrate the sciences of biology and medicine with the practices and principles of engineering.

The mission of the Mina and Everard Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences is to impart biological knowledge and scientific education based on modern research. In addition to imparting knowledge, we strive to arouse the curiosity of our students and to cultivate their intellectual and cultural growth.

The PhD programme in Health Sciences is a structured research education and consists of independent research work with a doctoral thesis (150 credits) and a training component (30 credits). The programme is standardized to a three-year duration, extended to four years for mandatory duties. Part-time study is possible, with a requirement that at least 50% of the working hours will be dedicated to the PhD programme.

How did such an astounding variety of living things evolve on Earth? What makes these bacteria, fungi, plants, and animals? How do living things differ from nonliving things? Part of these questions form the basics of biology and life sciences. We are also living organisms and we have evolved in response to the same basic set of chemical elements. We all share the same processes that allow us to survive. This program explains biological concepts and offers a unified presentation of life and its variation through evolution.

The PhD in Clinical Sciences offers doctoral training programs in basic and translational research, under the supervision of faculty and researchers working in various fields of clinical medicine, psychology, and various fields of experimental medicine related to translation into the clinical setting.

The PhD in Public Health Sciences, specialization in Health Promotion and Behavioral Sciences program at the University of Louisville, School of Public Health and Information Sciences is designed to prepare students for careers in higher education, upper-level management positions in government and private nonprofit health agencies, and research positions with universities, government agencies and in the private sector.

To promote advanced formation, multi and interdisciplinary in scientific areas related to PhD in Environmental, Marine and Earth Sciences. Development of skills and scientific training at the highest level, including scientific analysis, innovation, critical thinking, decision-making and independent research work

Our mission is to provide support to our students in their research field assisting them with their scientific work, publishing novel results, international dissemination, and getting acquainted with the most recent protocols and methods. The school motivates PhD in Health Sciences to take part in national and international project applications. Through our international contacts we give our Ph.D. students the opportunity for mobility and to gain experience abroad and to expand their scientific contacts. The Ph.D. students are involved in the scientific research of the supervisors and scientific members of the Doctoral School. The research topics are continuously being expanded due to the new results achieved by the Ph.D. students. These novel results will be integrated into the research topics.

The International PhD Program in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the Department of Agriculture, Food, Environment and Forestry (DAGRI) combines expertise from many disciplines in the agro-environmental field aimed at training researchers, enabling them to carry out qualified scientific activities in the field of plant and animal production, considering also aspects of eco-sustainability, climate change and recovery of polluted and degraded areas in order to restore their agricultural cultivation capabilities.

The PhD in Veterinary Sciences offers advanced training through research, combining rigorous coursework with supervision from nationally and internationally recognized researchers. It emphasizes applied teaching, clinical practice, and business collaboration, fostering fundamental and applied research in both basic and clinical sciences. The program encourages knowledge exchange and provides access to top-tier R&D units and a global network of researchers.

The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest degree offered by the University of Otago. It is awarded on the submission of a thesis which must meet rigorous standards. It requires highly developed academic ability, independence and perseverance. Most students take between 3-4 years of full-time study to complete their PhD.

We offer PhD and MS degrees in 6 programs: Atmospheric Sciences, Marine Biology & Ecology, Environmental Science & Policy, Marine Geosciences, Meteorology & Physical Oceanography, and Ocean Sciences. We offer highly competitive stipend rates, tuition, and health insurance coverage for our incoming PhD students as part of a fully-funded 5-year Graduate Assistantship. Finally, as part of our revitalized connections across colleges and to take advantage of our unique research facilities, we offer an MS degree in both Ocean Engineering and Sustainable Business. Our graduate students also take advantage of nearby NOAA facilities including the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, Southeast Fisheries Science Center, and the National Hurricane Center. PhD Assistantships can be found here: https://graduate.earth.miami.edu/admissions/phd-assistanships/index.html GRE not required!

The Graduate School Life Science Munich (LSM) offers an international doctoral program for motivated and academically qualified next-generation researchers at one of Europe’s top Universities – the Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich.

Biomedical Engineering blends traditional engineering techniques with biological sciences and medicine to improve the quality of human health and life. The discipline focuses both on understanding complex living systems – via experimental and analytical techniques – and on development of devices, methods and algorithms that advance medical and biological knowledge while improving the effectiveness and delivery of clinical medicine.

The primary aim in our doctoral school is to train scientists who can continue their creative scientific work related to leading fields of chemistry and environmental sciences after completion of their MSc studies. The doctoral school was established in 2000 as the highest level of education in chemistry and environmental sciences at the University of Pannonia. Since then, more than 125 degrees have been granted.

The PhD in Food Safety and Biotechnology School of Biological Sciences provides PhD and MPhil (research degree) programmes in subjects ranging from basic biochemistry, molecular genetics and cancer research, to agricultural science, marine ecology and the economic evaluation of ecosystem services and food retailing.
