BIO-MED-CHEM DOCTORAL SCHOOL

National emblem
BIO-MED-CHEM DOCTORAL SCHOOL OF UNIVERSITY OF LODZ AND LODZ INSTITUTES OF THE POLISH ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

BioMedChem Doctoral School of the University of Lodz and Lodz Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences awards a PhD degree in the following disciplines: 

  • Biological Sciences 
  • Medical Sciences  
  • Chemical Sciences  

Bio-Med-Chem Doctoral School is an interdisciplinary school, which has a unique curriculum offer. Doctoral students of the school gain knowledge from one of the three above mentioned disciplines, which is simultaneously closely related to the two remaining ones. Joint seminar classes constitute a platform to expand knowledge in these three fields, so far frequently considered (though wrongly) as separate. It is a valuable supplementation of the gained knowledge that leads to better and fuller understanding of processes and phenomena taking place at the interface between animate nature and its surroundings. 

What is important is that institutions that form the School (University of Lodz, Institute of Medical Biology of Polish Academy of Sciences, Centre of Molecular and Macromolecular Studies Polish Academy of SciencesEuropean Regional Centre for Ecohydrology) allow its research equipment use and carrying out research under the guidance of world-renowned scientists. 

Education at Bio-Med-Chem Doctoral School of the University of Lodz and Lodz Institutes of the Polish Academy of Sciences  

The goal of education is to broaden and deepen knowledge of doctoral students in the field of selected scientific discipline in an interdisciplinary environment allowing for the placement of competence associated with a given scientific discipline in a wider context. Knowledge and skills acquired during the studies will prepare you as a doctoral student to plan, design and conduct research independently within the Individual Research Plan (Indywidualny plan badawczy – IPB). 

After graduating from the Doctoral School, you will be prepared to critically evaluate scientific research results that constitute a basis for scientific publications as well as to present the obtained results in the international scientific community. The acquired knowledge and ability to share it will enable you to carry out didactic work at the level of higher education. 

Thanks to the education process you will gain competence enabling you to engage in individual as well as team scientific research, especially interdisciplinary ones, conducted by national and international research teams. The obtained knowledge and research results will constitute your contribution to the development of innovative economy and work for the public good. 

The studies last 8 semesters and they are full-time studies (the classes are held during working days). They are free of charge.
