The Department of Biomedicine takes part in various degree programs offered by the Biozentrum (Faculty of Science) and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Basel.

Within the Department of Biomedicine, basic scientists with a degree in Biology as well as in Medicine interact closely with clinical scientists working in the close-by hospitals. The research labs offer opportunities for Master, PhD, and MD-PhD students to gather practical and theoretical skills and perform their thesis in the biomedical research field.

Master in Molecular Biology
In tight association with the Biozentrum, Master students perform experimental work in one of the DBM’s research labs. Because the Graduate Program is run by the Biozentrum, the DBM supervisor of a Master thesis needs to be recognized as faculty representative by the Faculty of Science. Master of Science in Molecular Biology.

PhD in Biology
Students with a Master's degree in Biology or an equivalent degree (e.g. Diploma, EDA, and others) can perform their PhD thesis in the DBM. Every PhD student at the DBM enrolls his or her PhD within the International PhD Program in Biomedicine.

MD-PhD Program
The MD-PhD program offers a second-line graduate education in Biomedicine for talented medical students with an interest in experimental research. Every MD-PhD student at the DBM enrolls his or her PhD within the International PhD Program in Biomedicine.
