The PhD program is a three-year curriculum. It contains an obligatory
part of 135 credit hours of seminars and courses on topics of molecular
biology and cell biology as well as statistics. In addition, 165 credit
hours must be covered be elective seminars and courses. The latter can
be selected from the areas of anatomy, cell biology, biochemistry and
molecular biology, genetics and gene technology, internal medicine,
microbiology and virology, parasitology, pathology, pharmacology and
toxicology, physiology and pathophysiology, reproductive medicine and
biology, and laboratory animal methods.
Seminars and courses may be chosen from various teaching plans of the
life sciences, but the choice must be approved by the PhD Board.
Normally students will follow curricula of special graduate programs.
Such are offered by specific reseach training groups
("Graduiertenkollegs", see below) or the Giessen Graduate School for the
Life Sciences (GGL; see below). PhD Students are advised to contact the
organizers of the respective programs directly for further information.
Proof of attendance of all seminars and courses must be presented to the
PhD Office at the end of each semester.
PhD Students may participate in any course offered by the Faculty of
Medicine or Faculty of Veterinary Medicine or of the GGL at the
University of Giessen. On request, they may also participate in courses
offered by other institutions. In case of interest they should contact
the respective external organiser and ask the PhD Office for approval.
The activity confirmations obtained from such courses are to be
submitted to the PhD office at the end of each semester.
