Scholarship Description: The EMBL International PhD Programme is Europe’s ‘best in class’ PhD programme
for the life sciences. 200 students from over 40 countries are carrying out PhD
research at EMBL at any time. Every year we admit an average of 50 new
students, who belong to the top science graduates in their countries. They are
carefully selected from a large multi-national pool of applicants that reached
over 1700 applications in 2012. The EMBL International PhD Programme provides
comprehensive training that promotes scientific excellence, independence and
creativity. We try to maintain a careful balance between theory and practice,
between close mentoring and creative freedom, between collaborative teamwork
and independence. A concept that works! More than 95% of our students
successfully complete their PhD degree and on average they publish two first
author papers based on their PhD work. These successes make the EMBL
International PhD Programme a role model, which has inspired many similar programmes
at science institutions throughout Europe and the world. EMBL has 3 official
languages (English, German and French). However, English is most commonly used
across sites in the everyday working environment.
