  2. Once this is sorted out, you need to follow the instructions for an online application to HBIGS (Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School) and enroll at the Faculty of Biosciences (https://www.bio.uni-heidelberg.de/en). 
  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.
