Application checklist
- Confirm your degree field fits biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics or a related discipline
- Check your English level against C1 (placement test or interview proof)
- Register in the application database when it opens in November 2026
- Invite referees early: they must upload before 31 January 2027
- Submit before 31 January 2027 - no applications are accepted after the deadline
Application tips
- The deadline is absolute, so treat referee uploads as part of your own deadline, not theirs.
- If your degree will only be awarded before the start, state that clearly; it is allowed, but the award must precede the start.
- Use the March recruitment day and April/May visit window to confirm the group fit before accepting.
