Master of Multidisciplinary Research in Experimental Sciences
Announcing a pioneering program focused on hands-on research at scientific centers of excellence
May 23, 2017
BIST- the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology and the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences (DCEXS) of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra will launch an innovative Masters Program for Multidisciplinary Research in Experimental Sciences*, designed to provide outstanding students with the skills and abilities needed to thrive in an increasingly multidisciplinary contemporary research environment.
A key feature of the program is in-depth hands-on research training in multiple fields. Students will undertake a 6-month major project, and a 10-week minor project in two different research disciplines in leading research institutions from the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) and the Department of Experimental and Health Sciences (DCEXS). Students are provided with extensive training in professional research skill, and engage directly with and learn from outstanding local and international researchers.
The participating institutes are:
The program is aimed at candidates who intend to undertake a PhD or pursue a research career in fundamental science and technology. It is open to candidates who hold a degree in health sciences, engineering, computer sciences or degrees in basic scientific disciplines (chemistry, physics, biology, or mathematics).
15 fully-funded competitive fellowships will be offered to to outstanding candidates, covering tuition fees, a monthly living allowance and a mobility allowance.
Please inquire for details.
* Pending AQU approval
