Description/content

In 2003, the MHH founded Hannover Biomedical Research School (HBRS) as an “umbrella organisation” for existing and future structured postgraduate programmes. HBRS currently comprises six international PhD programmes – Molecular Medicine (since 2000), Infection Biology and DEWIN (since 2003/2010), Regenerative Sciences (from the Excellence Cluster “REBIRTH” in 2007), Auditory Sciences (from the Excellence Cluster “Hearing4all” in 2013), Epidemiology (since 2013) and Biomedical Data Science (BIOMEDAS since 2020). 

In addition, we offer three Master’s programmes (Biochemistry, Biomedicine, and Biomedical Data Science). A structured doctoral programme for medical students (StrucMed) was also successfully established in 2005, while a second “Clinical StrucMed” was started in 2015 and a third “Digital StrucMed” in 2021.

HBRS has become a highly attractive graduate school for (MD/)PhD training with a first-rate international reputation. It coordinates teaching and ensures excellent training in high-quality research laboratories, and it actively encourages integration and interdisciplinary exchange between students and young researchers from medicine, life science, and – since 2007 – also those with an engineering background. HBRS fosters educational and scientific interaction between university and non-university institutions – among these are the Leibniz University of Hannover, the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine, and the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig. HBRS provides a framework for international guest lectures, summer schools, and for the training of talented students for a future career in science. In providing optimal conditions for female PhD students, HBRS aims to motivate and convince female academics to pursue a career in science. With the introduction of a “dual career” concept, involving the rotation of positions and tandem research groups, HBRS supports a new model for clinical research scientists.

Our offer: We provide fully-funded studentships or employee positions for the three-year PhD programmes. In all programmes, the focus is placed on individual research projects, complemented by programme-specific seminars as well as an individualised curriculum comprising lab and soft-skill courses, congresses, symposia, and summer schools. Communication and the teaching language is in English. Upon graduation, students are awarded a PhD. Alternatively, life scientists and natural scientists may choose a Dr rer nat.

Application: The programmes are aimed at medical students and veterinary students as well as post-graduates in life science fields after finishing their MD studies, Master of Science, or Diploma (particularly in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and biotechnology). The programme in Regenerative Sciences also welcomes engineers, for example, in the field of material sciences. The three main PhD programmes, Molecular Medicine, Infection Biology/DEWIN, and Regenerative Sciences, start annually in October. The deadline for applications is 1 April.Faculties
