The PhD program at the GBE department will enable students to gain advanced knowledge in different topics of their interest through courses that they will take during the first year of their studies. Upon completion of the courses together with their mentor and monitoring committee, they will gradually prepare their theses. The experimental part of their theses will be carried out in world class laboratory setting which IBU provides for them.

Become a reseacher. Become an academic.

Through the integration of bioinformatics and bioengineering we enable our students to make sense of the collected data from a new perspective and dig deeper into the field than ever before.Within the PhD Program at GBE Department we aid our students in developing a deeper understanding of the field through analysis of scientific publications and the development of critical thinking.

PROGRAM

The GBE PhD program is a three-year program that carries 180 ECTS credits of formal course work and a PhD dissertation. The first year of the program is dedicated to the study of advanced genetics and bioengineering courses.
