Bachelor Degree

Minimum GPA

Applicants must hold a university degree (e.g., Master's, Licentiate, Diplom) from an internationally accredited university that would permit PhD entry in biosciences in the country where the degree was awarded. Medical degrees (Medicine, Clinical Medicine, Veterinary Medicine) and related subjects are explicitly excluded from HBIGS membership. Candidates must be proficient in English (see accepted tests). No specific PhD GPA or required years of work experience are specified; research experience is considered helpful.

No application fee is charged by Heidelberg University. Doctoral programs do not charge tuition; however, students must pay administrative/student services fees — notably a standard student union fee of about EUR 171. No detailed information about funding or scholarships was provided in the content.
