Career Prospects

Graduate Programs in Biosciences

Almost all our graduates do a PhD after their graduation and there are plenty of possibilities here in Heidelberg to continue into this direction, with several larger graduate schools like the Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS) and the DKFZ International PhD Program.

However there are also other options. For a complete overview check the website of the PhD Office of the Faculty of Biosciences.
