    About

    The CEPLAS Graduate School offers a structured four-to-five-year doctoral programme covering the fields of molecular plant sciences, plant genetics, plant-microbe interactions, synthetic biology as well as quantitative and computational biology. The programme is jointly organised by the Universities of Düsseldorf and Cologne, the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and the Forschungszentrum Jülich. It leads students with a Bachelor’s degree through a unique qualification phase to the dissertation research phase and finally to the PhD. PhD students work in one of the CEPLAS member laboratories on a topic related to the CEPLAS research programme. CEPLAS Graduate School members benefit from comprehensive training programmes that address their academic as well as career development aspirations and needs.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    A prerequisite for admission to the CEPLAS Graduate School is a Bachelor’s degree in biological sciences or a subject related to biological sciences (e.g. cell or molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, computational biology/bioinformatics, quantitative or synthetic biology) at the beginning of the graduate programme in October. Applicants holding a Master’s degree in biological sciences or related disciplines are currently not eligible for the CEPLAS Graduate School programme. After acceptance to the CEPLAS Graduate School, the final programme admission requires a successful registration for a Master’s programme in Biology or Biochemistry either at the University of Cologne or the University Düsseldorf.
