After one year of intensive course work, students of this integrated Master's/PhD programme can continue with a six-month thesis to obtain a Master of Science degree or join the PhD programme directly (fast-track option).

15 January of the year of enrolment

Study concept

The integrated Master's/PhD programme offers excellent study and research conditions to prepare aspiring young scientists for a professional career in academia or science-related professions in the private or public sector. At every stage of their studies, the students are exposed to a broad spectrum of theoretical and practical training, individual counselling and guidance to prepare for taking well-informed decisions on their next career steps.

Study contents

In 36 lecture weeks (accompanied by tutorials), 20 methods courses during the first three months of the Master's programme, and three eight-week research projects (lab rotations), students acquire in-depth knowledge in the following subject areas of molecular biosciences:

Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Structural Biology, Genetics, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Metabolic Physiology, Cell Biology, Oncology, Immunobiology, Neurobiology, Developmental Biology, Microbiology, Systems Biology, and Biotechnology.

Professional skills such as good scientific practice, scientific writing, presentation techniques, design of scientific illustrations, and handling of experimental animals are taught in workshops and applied during lab rotations and reporting seminars.

In addition, all foreign students can participate in free German language courses, which are optionally offered at different levels as introductory intensive courses and evening courses throughout the study programme.

During the subsequent PhD studies, students benefit from the wide range of qualifications (scientific methods courses, professional skills workshops, industry excursions, language courses, other events) offered by the Graduate School GAUSS and the Graduate Center GGNB.

Annual retreats of the Molecular Biology programme, the student-organised international symposium Horizons in Molecular Biology and regular cultural nights contribute to a close personal and scientific exchange.

All MSc students are supported by a stipend of the Max Planck Society and additional funds are available during the doctoral studies. More details are in the "Funding" section.

Counselling and support

Newly admitted students receive info letters in preparation of their studies, advising services, and a variety of administrative support as part of a two-week orientation programme prior to their first year of study. Throughout their studies, students receive individual counselling from members of the programme regarding their course of study and the advancement of their skills, interests, and personal development.

The Neurosciences programme is regularly evaluated by independent external reviewers and has been rated several times as a model best practice example. Together with the Molecular Biology programme, it received the 2004 prize for excellent support services for foreign students by the Federal Foreign Minister and was awarded the label "Top 10 International Master's Degree Courses made in Germany" by "Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft" together with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in a national contest.

Leading scientists of all partners offer research-oriented training across a broad spectrum of modern molecular life sciences with access to their state-of-the art laboratories during methods courses and individually supervised research projects.

Intensive course programme in the first year

During the first year of research-oriented training, students earn 90 credits (ECTS) in a combination of theoretical and practical modules between October and July:

• Lectures / Tutorials (October to July)
• Methods courses (October to December)
• Short presentations by research groups (October to November)
• Professional skills (November to January)
• Research projects / Lab rotations (January to June)
• Master's seminar (March to June)

The first year of study concludes with a written and two oral Master’s examinations in August.

Integrated Master’s/PhD concept

After successful completion of the Master’s examinations, a six-month Master’s thesis (30 credits ECTS) leads to the award of the Master of Science degree concluding the Master’s programme after 18 months. The majority of students continues in the Molecular Biology programme with their PhD research without the need for panel-based admission interviews.

Alternatively, students who have passed the Master’s examinations at the end of the first year with good or excellent results qualify for direct admission to a three-year doctoral project in one of the participating research groups without being required to complete a Master's thesis first (fast-track option).

• Language training provided
• Training in intercultural skills
• Projects with partners in Germany and abroad

During the Master's year, all students carry out three lab rotations of eight weeks in the research labs of the programme or in research labs of participating local industry. During the doctoral phase, there is the option of research collaboration with other research institutions. A wide range of methods courses are offered in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell staining and imaging, electrophysiology, systems physiology, light and electron microscopy, and genetics.

Fees are around 400 EUR per semester. The fees include a prepaid semester ticket that entitles students to use regional trains and city buses in Göttingen free of charge. Students of the University of Göttingen receive discounts for cultural events. Meals and drinks are also available at reduced prices at all university canteens.

Semester ticket

The average cost of living in Göttingen is modest compared to other major university cities in Germany. Currently, expenses for accommodation, food, health insurance and books are about 900 EUR per month. Please note that fees for health insurance may vary according to age. Living expenses might be slightly higher.

About this degree

This four-year Molecular Cell Biology PhD programme at the Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology (LMCB) provides a broad in-depth training in molecular cell biology and fundamental aspects of biomedical science. The programme provides students with the opportunity to carry out cutting-edge research in an internationally renown environment. First-year rotations through three different laboratories and a bespoke tutorial series just are some of the programme highlights.

Who this course is for

Inquisitive, smart, adaptable and ambitious applicants.

What this course will give you

The goals of our training are to produce scientists who have explored one area and one level of analysis in great depth, but who are familiar with the full scope of molecular and cell biology. They should be able to move from one level to another in a critical and creative manner. We also try to develop an appreciation for translational research that bears on human disease.

During their first year, students have a free choice of three laboratories from the groups within the LMCB, and spend three months in each, working on research projects.

Students also participate in twice-weekly tutorials that are designed to broaden their understanding of molecular cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, immunology and the cell biology of disease.

Towards the end of their first year, students select a supervisor and lab in which they will carry out their three-year thesis project. Overall our programme is designed to offer training in fundamental aspects of molecular and cell biology, and to provide an opportunity to carry out cutting-edge research in a vibrant and internationally competitive environment.

The foundation of your career

Throughout the course of the PhD programme students gain a wide range of employability skills, these include but are not limited to, training in presentation skills, computer literacy, reading and analysis of scientific papers, team working, committee membership, event organisation (including outreach events) and cutting-edge microscopy training. 

Employability

Recent graduates have secured positions as research fellows and postdoctoral researchers at leading UK universities including the University of Cambridge and UCL, and at overseas organisations such as Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center, USA and the Agency for Science Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. Graduates of the programme have also established careers within the scientific technology and pharmaceutical industries.

Students in their first year share tutorials, practical courses and informal discussion meetings. They also join the wider cohort of LMCB graduate students that influences all aspects of LMCB strategy, outreach and social activities.

Teaching and learning

Students have access to a wide range training in soft and academic skills as well as access to training from other programmes.

You will do an upgrade from MPhil to PhD, and then a viva for your final examination.

The contact hours will be agreed between the research supervisor and the student. The hours of self-directed study will vary depending on the work being undertaken.

Research areas and structure

The programme offers research projects in areas including:

• Cell Signalling/Transcription
• Cytoskeleton
• Membrane Trafficking
• Growth Control
• Developmental Biology
• Neurobiology
• Human Disease
• Clinical Session

Research environment

The Laboratory for Molecular Cell Biology (LMCB) is a division within the UCL Faculty of Life Sciences . The Faculty has been associated with nine Nobel Laureates and presents an unrivalled environment for students and researchers in life science disciplines ranging from the biology of molecules, cells and organisms through to neuroscience and behavioural sciences.

Our research leaders, staff and PhD students work together to understand the fundamental principles of cell biology relevant to human disease. We are located in the heart of the Bloomsbury Campus of UCL and are funded by Cancer Research UK, Wellcome and University College London.

As an LMCB MPhil/PhD student, you will have the opportunity to learn from, and contribute to, this research culture by pursuing original research and making a distinct and significant contribution to your field. We are committed to the quality and relevance of the research supervision we offer, and as an MPhil/PhD candidate you could work with academics at the cutting-edge of cell biology. Furthermore as a research student, you will be an integral part of our collaborative and thriving research community.

We provide a bespoke tutorial series designed to offer a broad training in cellular and molecular aspects of biomedical science, as well as an opportunity to carry out cutting-edge research in an internationally competitive environment.

In the first year, students rotate through three laboratories of their choice within the LMCB. Students then choose any one of these laboratories for their three-year thesis project. The first year of the programme also includes weekly tutorials run by experts in various fields of cell and molecular biology, as well as discussion sessions and debates on wider issues in science.

This crucial first year allows students to broaden their understanding of biomedical science and, most importantly, sample different laboratories in order to make an informed choice of thesis area and mentor.

The length of registration for our PhD Programme lasts four years full-time, with the initial rotation year consisting of three ten-week projects.

You are required to register initially for the MPhil degree with the expectation of transfer to PhD after successful completion of an upgrade viva 9-12 months after starting your PhD project (second year of the programme).

Upon successful completion of your approved period of registration you may register as a completing research student (CRS), for up to one year, while you write up your thesis.

Within three months of joining your PhD lab, you are expected to agree with your supervisor the basic structure of your research project, an appropriate research method and a realistic plan of work. You will produce and submit a detailed outline of your proposed research to your PhD supervisory committee for their comments and feedback. Towards the end of the first year of your PhD project, you will have an opportunity to present your research before an audience of LMCB staff and fellow PhD students.

Additionally, in this year you will be expected to upgrade from an MPhil to a PhD. To successfully upgrade to a PhD you are required to submit a short dissertation describing the progress of your work to date. You are also required to present and answer questions about this work to your thesis committee who determine whether your upgrade to PhD is justified.

The PhD programme is expected to be completed within four years. If you are not ready to submit at the end of the fourth year, you may be able to go onto CRS for up to one additional year.

Year 1: First lab rotation: normally the rotation is 3 months for full-time students, but can be extended to up to 6 months for part-time students

Year 2: Second and third lab rotations

Year 3 – 6: PhD research in a laboratory of the student’s choice, thesis preparation and submission.

Human Genetics and Genomics, PhD

School of medicine, ph.d. program.

The Johns Hopkins Human Genetics Training Program provides a training in all aspects of human genetics and genomics relevant to human biology, health and disease. 

Advances in human genetics and genomics continue at an astounding rate and increasingly they are being integrated into medical practice. The Human Genetics Program aims to educate highly motivated and capable students with the knowledge and experimental tools that will enable them to answer important questions at the interface between genetics and medicine. Ultimately, our trainees will be the leaders in delivering the promise of genetics to human health.

The overall objective of the Human Genetics program is to provide our students with a strong foundation in basic science by exposure to a rigorous graduate education in genetics, genomics, molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and biostatistics as well as a core of medically-related courses selected to provide knowledge of human biology in health and disease. 

This program is also offered as training for medical students in the combined M.D./Ph.D. program.  Students apply to the combined program at the time of application to the M.D. program. (See section entitled Medical Scientist Training Program).

Research Facilities

Research laboratories are well equipped to carry out sophisticated research in all areas of genetics. The proximity to renown clinical facilities of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, including the Department of Genetic Medicine, and Oncology Center provides faculty and students with access to a wealth of material for study. Computer and library facilities are excellent. Laboratories involved in the Human Genetics Program span Johns Hopkins University; consequently supporting facilities are extensive.

Financial Aid

The program is supported by a training grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. These fellowships, which are restricted to United States citizens and permanent United States residents, cover tuition, health care insurance and a stipend during year one.  Once a student has joined a thesis lab, all financial responsibilities belong to the mentor.   Students are encouraged, however, to apply for fellowships from outside sources (e.g., the National Science Foundation, Fulbright Scholars Program, Howard Hughes Medical Institute) before entering the program.

Applicants for admission should show a strong academic foundation with coursework in biology, chemistry and quantitative analysis.   Applicants are encouraged to have exposure to lab research or to data science.  A bachelor's degree from a qualified college or university will be required for matriculation.  GREs are no longer required.

The Human Genetics site has up-to-date information on “ How to Apply .” For questions not addressed on these pages, please access the contact imformation listed on the program page: Human Genetics and Genomics Training Program | Johns Hopkins Department of Genetic Medicine (hopkinsmedicine.org) .

Program Requirements

The program includes the following required core courses: Advanced Topics in Human Genetics, Evolving Concept of the Gene, Molecular Biology and Genomics, Cell Structure and Dynamics, Computational Bootcamp,  Pathways and Regulation, Genomic Technologies, Rigor and Reproducibility in Research, and Systems, Genes and Mechanisms of Disease. Numerous elective courses are available and are listed under sponsoring departments.

Our trainees must take a minimum of four electives, one of which must provide computational/statistical training.

The HG program requires the “OPTIONS” Career Curriculum offered by the Professional Development and Career Office.  OPTIONS is designed to provide trainees with the skills for career building and the opportunity for career exploration as well as professional development training

Human Genetics trainees also take a two-week course in July at the Jackson Labs in Bar Harbor, Maine entitled "Human and Mammalian Genetics and Genomics: The McKusick Short Course" which covers the waterfront from basic principles to the latest developments in mammalian genetics. The faculty numbers about 50 and consists roughly in thirds of JAX faculty, Hopkins faculty and “guest” faculty comprising outstanding mammalian geneticists from other US universities and around the world.

The courses offered by the faculty of the program are listed below. All courses are open to graduate students from any university program as well as selected undergraduates with permission of the course director.

Trainees must complete three research rotations before deciding on their thesis lab.  They must also participate in the Responsible Conduct of Research sessions offered by the Biomedical Program; starting at year 3, students must attend at least two Research Integrity Colloquium lectures per year. 

Our trainees participate in weekly journal clubs, department seminars, monthly Science & Pizza presentations as well as workshops given twice a year on diversity, identity and culture.

At the end of the second year, trainees take their Doctoral Board Oral Examination.  Annual thesis committee meetings must be held following successful completion of this exam.

Average time for completion is 5.3 years.

Graduates from the Human Genetics program pursue careers in academia, medicine, industry, teaching, government, law, as well the private sector.  Our trainees are encouraged to explore the full spectrum of professional venues in which their training my provide a strong foundation. Driven by curiosity and a desire for excellence, our trainees stand out as leaders in the chosen arenas of professional life. They are supported in the development of their career plans by a program faculty and administration who are dedicated to their success, and by a myriad of support networks across the Johns Hopkins University, many of which are provided by the Professional Development Career Office of the School of Medicine.
