General Information

All students who have been accepted to one of the BZH research groups to perform a doctoral thesis must participate in the BZH doctoral program. This program offers an intense and detailed advisory assistance and supervision and a constant training in the field of biochemistry. It aims to broaden the horizons of the doctoral students and to prepare them for their later scientific career.

The BZH study office coordinates the doctoral program and helps with any questions concerning the program. It keeps the files of the doctoral students and confirms the participation in the doctoral program upon completion. A certificate from the BZH will be issued along with the doctoral diploma from the faculty.

HBIGS students and students of other graduate programs who perform their doctoral thesis in one of the BZH research groups must also register in the BZH-study office. Participation in HBIGS and other programs will be accepted. Please consult the BZH study office for details.


Registration

Doctoral students who have been accepted into a BZH research group, register in the BZH study office and then in the Dean's Office (Dekanat) for Biosciences Studiendekanat für Biowissenschaften or for Chemistry and Geosciences Studiendekanat für Chemie (depending on the supervisor’s faculty). Upon registration, the doctoral student will receive a certification sheet (“Laufbogen”) on which all activities related to the doctoral program are documented and acknowledged by the responsible supervisor or lecturer. In addition, an instruction on how to prepare a research proposal will be handed out.
