PhD Postgraduate Programs at The Cyprus School of Molecular Medicine | Κύπρος

The Cyprus School of Molecular Medicine offers accredited PhD Postgraduate Programs. The Programs are offered in Full-Time mode (4 years) of study only. Each postgraduate program consists of five taught courses; four courses are core courses and one is elective which are offered during the 1st year of studies. PhD Postgraduate Programs also include a research project (years 2-4).

A minimum of 50 ECTS from the taught courses (including tutorial sessions for each course on a weekly basis) of the program and 190 ECTS from the research part of the program must be completed while enrolled on the doctoral program.

PhD Positions and Topics for the Academic Year 2018-2019:

PhD in Medical Genetics (accredited)

The program promotes excellence and educates students on the significant issues in Medical Genetics. The challenging curricula includes mandatory taught courses which cover the main aspects of Medical Genetics and a number of elective courses enabling students to broaden their knowledge on other fields of Medical Genetics. The PhD Research Projects on various aspects of Medical Genetics are conducted in the state-of-the-art Departments and Clinics of the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING). As an International Centre of Excellence, CING carries out pioneering research in Medical Genetics and therefore provides PhD students with the knowledge and tools to complete a competitive Research or Library Project. PhD Students have the opportunity to attend courses (during their 1st year of studies) in innovative fields which include Cytogenetics and Genomics, Molecular Genetics, Methodologies and Technologies Applied in Medical Genetics and Biochemical Basis of Genetic Diseases.
