PhD Postgraduate Programs

The Cyprus School of Molecular Medicine offers two PhD programs:

• PhD in Medical Genetics
• PhD in Molecular Medicine

The PhD postgraduate programs are organised around teaching courses and a research project (thesis work). Successful students will have to pass all course examinations, the PhD thesis examination and have at least one first author publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

The PhD programs are full-time programs (four years). Each postgraduate program consists of five teaching courses which are taken during the first year; four courses are core courses and one is elective. The rest of the years of the PhD programs include only research.

Tuition fees
The tuition fees for the first year of the PhD programs are €5.450.
Scholarships will be available for the years 2, 3 and 4.

Courses provided in both PhD Postgraduate Programs are:
