  3. If you are a student of medicine or dentistry, please enroll in the structured graduation program of the medical faculty (https://www.medizinische-fakultaet-hd.uni-heidelberg.de/forschung/forschungsfoerderung/interne-foerderung/mdphd-programm/faqs), first follow their instructions. 

 
Please always go through the official websites of the faculties (Biology or Medicine) and HBIGS to ensure a successful application within the specified deadlines.
