They should note that this program is limited to projects carried out within research facilities of these two faculties and requires excellent grades for admission. For further information on this Ph.D. Program see: http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/phd.

The GGL Board will inform those applicants to the 2008/2009 announcement of the GGL who also qualify for this Ph.D. Program.

Admission:

Admission to the GGL and Ph.D. graduate study program will be granted by the GGL Board and the Ph.D. Admission Committee where applicable.
