COPENHAGEN BIOSCIENCE PHD PROGRAMME

4 PHD STUDENTS for Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research in 2016

The Copenhagen Bioscience PhD programme is a new initiative from The Novo Nordisk Foundation that offers talented students an opportunity to launch their careers in the vibrant environment of the Novo Nordisk Foundation research centre cluster.

GENERAL PROGRAMME OUTLINE

The four-year programme is divided into a pre-doctoral year followed by three years of PhD studies at one of the Novo Nordisk Foundation research centres.
