MPI-P Research Groups
Please note that the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry PhD Program does not award the PhD degree! Therefore every PhD student has to register with a university that will ultimately award the PhD degree. After you have been accepted as a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry your respective Research Group Leader will assist you with all the formalities required for university registration.
The Institute’s PhD program “Translational Psychiatry – From bed to bench and back” offers interdisiplinary educational elements that expose the students to a variety of methods relevant for modern psychiatric research.
The Institute is also part of two PhD graduate schools that include the Munich universities and the Max Planck Institutes of Biochemistry and Neurobiology:
1. The International Max Planck Research School for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences offers an exceptional scientific education for students of modern biochemistry, cell biology, molecular medicine, neurobiology and structural biology.
IMPRS for Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences
2. The Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences provides a broad understanding in neurobiology from the molecular to the systemic level. Besides basic biology and computational modeling of brain function the program also includes philosophical and ethical aspects of neuroscience.
