Doctoral schools

The Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases is committed to training the next generation of researchers in the crucial field of One Health and emerging infectious diseases. Its doctoral programme provides numerous opportunities for students interested in cutting-edge research in this vital area

Students admitted to the doctoral programme benefit from a wide range of funding opportunities, with thesis scholarships available to support them financially throughout their doctoral studies. These scholarships may cover tuition fees, living expenses, and other research-related expenses.

Additionally, the Graduate School offers end-of-thesis scholarships to assist students in completing their research and thesis writing. These scholarships can be crucial in enabling them to fully focus on finalising their academic work without worrying about financial constraints.

To encourage international mobility and knowledge exchange, the Graduate School also provides short-term funding for international mobility scholarships. These funds enable students to participate in exchange programmes, internships abroad, or research collaborations at other renowned institutions worldwide.

Furthermore, funding is available to support students’ participation in conferences, seminars, and other relevant academic events. This initiative aims to encourage the dissemination of students’ research and foster their integration into the international academic community.

Through these various funding opportunities, the Graduate School of One Health-Emerging Infectious Diseases strives to create an environment conducive to cutting-edge research and to support students in their academic and professional journeys.

The five doctoral schools associated with the Graduate School bring a wealth of expertise and resources in key areas related to One Health and emerging infectious diseases. Each of these doctoral schools offers a unique and complementary academic framework, allowing students to benefit from comprehensive interdisciplinary training.

By closely collaborating with these five doctoral schools, the Graduate School provides students with a diverse and multidisciplinary learning environment, fostering innovation and excellence in research on emerging infectious diseases.
