Courses are held in English (75%) and German (25%). Participants can choose to write their PhD thesis in either language, but the rigorosum has to be held in English.<\/p>\n

The programme can start in\u00a0summer as well as in winter semesterm (twice a year) for a duration of three years.<\/p>\n

The Programme:<\/h5>\n

(Veterinary) biomedicine (project-related courses), interdisciplinary basic sciences coursework, key qualification (statistics, veterinary epidemiology, animal welfare, biological safety, presentation techniques)<\/p>\n

The course of study is divided into five modules: experimental research (Module 1), interdisciplinary coursework with an emphasis on research (Modules 2 and 3), specialised coursework (Module 4), and presentations (Module 5). A total of at least 180 credit points (CP) must be earned. The curriculum will be determined and disclosed by the PhD Committee in consultation with the participating departments and clinics. The interdisciplinary courses will be decided by the PhD Committee, while the specialised coursework will be determined and made known by the individual supervisor in consultation with the individual PhD student.<\/p>\n

The majority of courses will be conducted by the faculty of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover, with supplementary courses conducted by visiting scientists. All courses are to be held in the English language. Credit can be given for suitable courses held as part of a DFG Research Training Programme, for courses at other local scientific institutions of higher education, and at other universities or external institutions. Students are also expected to work independently, e.g. by giving lectures during seminars or by participating in doctoral colloquia. Student’s performance in the required courses of the PhD programme will be evaluated by regular testing and confirmed by the supervisor.
\nPhD students determine their individual courses of study in accordance with the curriculum of the PhD Commission in consultation with their supervisors. The course of study is approved by the tutorial group. The PhD course must comprise a minimum of 300 hours of seminars and other coursework, of which at least 50% should be mandatory (interdisciplinary or project-related courses) and approx. 50% can be electives.
\nOnce a year, the PhD Committee invites the students to participate in a colloquium open to the University. The students give either a lecture or a poster presentation about the progress made in their projects. Form and content of the presentations will be evaluated.
\nUsually, the oral interim examination takes place 18 months after beginning the PhD programme as part of the second consultation; it must take place no later than one year before the final examination.
\nThis examination focuses on topics related to the project and the coursework and is conducted by the tutorial group. The student’s knowledge of English and, if necessary, German has to be taken into consideration. If the student fails the interim examination, a second attempt will be scheduled by the tutorial group. This second attempt has to be made at least three months, but no more than six months later. A second failure is final, and the student will be dismissed from the PhD programme. The tutorial group informs the PhD Committee of the results of the interim examination.<\/p>\n
