The Department advertises positions for the Master´s degree in Medical Genetics, after approval from the relevant authorities of the University. The number of the positions will depend on the specific needs and capacities of the Department of Biological Sciences in collaboration with the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING).
At the time of application each postgraduate candidate student is encouraged to contact all Faculty Members with the aim to identify a research lab for carrying out the research part of his/her studies. Consequently, each new student will have prior knowledge regarding the research lab in which he/she will carry out his/her research part or the program. Pre-requisites for joining the research lab of choice are (a) the consent of the respective Faculty member and (b) the successful completion of courses, identified by the research supervisor. This information is communicated to the candidate at the time of admission to the postgraduate programs.
Contents
For students who enter the PhD program and have already obtained a Master´s degree from the University of Cyprus or any othe recognized University, it is possible to become exempt from some or all of the required ECTS units on a case-by-case determination, after a decison by the Committee of Postgraduate Studies and approval by the Departmental Council.
Those enrolled in the PhD Program must complete 80 ECTS units by taking 5 compulsory postgraduate courses and 3 restricted electives. They also have to attend the seminar series of the Department for at least four semesters. Candidates who already hold a Master´s degree in a relevant scientific area or who have attended postgraduate classes in relevant subjects can be exempt partially or up to 80 ECTS units, after submitting an application to the Committee for Postgraduate Studies with the agreement of his/her research supervisor. In any, case candidates must enroll to attend the seminar series of the Department.
After the completion of the postgraduate courses (excluding the seminars), candidates will undergo a "Comprehensive" examination according to the University general guidelines of postgraduate students. This will involve preparation and presentation of a research proposal in an area different from that of their PhD research dissertation.
Students officially become PhD candidates after their successful completion of the "Comprehensive " examination, by the fifth semester at the latest.
