The BENEFRI Neuroscience Program is a convention between the universities of Bern and Fribourg and is available to GHS candidates. Its purpose is the organization of joint postgraduate courses and lectures for PhD candidates in Neuroscience at the two universities. At the moment, it includes the Faculty of Medicine in Bern and the Faculty of Science in Fribourg.
The Lemanic Neuroscience Doctoral School (LNDS) organizes student training in both theoretical and experimental aspects of neuroscience.
The PHS Course Program is recommended to PhD candidates working on public health-related topics who want to get ready for a postdoc position in academia or an organization close to science. The PHS Course Program is highly
interdisciplinary, with scholars from several faculties contributing.
Transferable skills provide key qualifications for your academic and non-academic career through individual feedback from experts, intensive learning in small groups, and multidisciplinary networking. Transferable skills are competencies
acquired in one context that can be applied to other contexts, jobs, positions, functions or fields of work.
Clinical Neuroscience Bern is an interdisciplinary collaboration pivotal to success in clinical neuroscience research and methodology. The research focus of Clinical Neurosciences Bern aims to improve information exchange and promote cooperation
with internal and external partners.
The GCB is jointly administered by the Faculties of Medicine, Human Sciences and Vetsuisse, and offers structured, experimental research training programs leading to a PhD, MD-PhD, or DVM-PhD degree.
MD-PhD Scholarships
GHS candidates with a master's in medicine may apply annually for the MD-PhD scholarships. The National MD-PhD Program, which is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), the Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences (SAMS/SAMW), and several other foundations, awards scholarships every year to outstanding graduates with residency in Switzerland in human medicine, veterinary medicine and dentistry. Candidates in Expert Committee III (Clinical Sciences) are not eligible for the MD-PhD scholarship, since the minimum research time is 75%.
