PhD Courses

The LNMB offers a PhD program as a biennial program. Each academic year nine PhD courses are taught in three trimesters, each trimester having a duration of 10 weeks. Within the first 9 weeks of a trimetser one lecture for each course is given; the last week can be used if a lecture has to be cancelled in the first 9 weeks.
