Application Procedure
The application procedure for Maastricht University study programmes can vary. Please check the application information for master's programme / bachelor's programme.
Scholarship Application:
To obtain a scholarship, you must have been accepted for a master's programme. The scholarship application form must be sent directly to the following Faculty.
Electronic health records (EHRs) are valuable for medical research and clinical trials. Researchers need EHRs to perform clinical trials on new medicines, for example. However, EHRs contain sensitive data and should not reveal the identity of the patient. Therefore EHRs must be anonymized or aggregated before they are released to the clinical investigators.
The Danish Stem Cell Center (DanStem) at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark offers Postdoctoral Fellowship, PhD scholarship and a Research Assistant position
VIB (Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie) is a life sciences research institute in Flanders, Belgium. VIB is offering eight PhD scholarships for international life sciences students. Apply now to kick-start your scientific career in a centre of excellence in the heart of Europe, backed by first class research facilities and training in our multidisciplinary, international scientific community.
Eligibility
The VIB International Ph.D. Program is aimed towards all non-Belgians, currently living abroad.
Candidates should hold a university degree, or satisfy equivalent requirements, which is sufficient to start a doctoral program at a Flemish university.
Applicants must hold a 5-year University degree, or equivalent, in life sciences (e.g. biology, biochemistry, biotechnology), physics, engineering, chemistry, or related fields. In general, this implies that the applicant has a Masters degree. Applicants, who have not yet received their degree at the time of the application deadline, can also apply, but a final certificate of the degree is needed no later than 2 months after the selection interviews, which will take place in May 2010.
Medical students who wish to obtain a Ph.D. degree can also apply after completion of their M.D. exams.
Passing the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a plus (and you should definitely indicate on your application whether you took the GRE), but the test is not required for your application.
Applicants are preferentially not older than 28 years at the application deadline.
English is used in all VIB laboratories for scientific communication. Therefore, candidates must have an excellent command of English. A language test for English, such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) is not necessary for the application but nonetheless highly recommended.If you take the TOEFL-test specifically to enter our Ph.D. Program, please use the TOEFL codes of either Ghent University, the K.U.Leuven, the University of Antwerp or the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.
