The MD-PhD programme is designed for medical students and medical graduates from Swiss or foreign universities interested in science and in combining the study of mechanisms of disease with clinical practice in an academic setting. The MD-PhD Commission promotes the programme and assists students in preparing to compete for a National Scholarsip. Members of the Commission may also help students find a thesis director in Switzerland and obtain funding if they do not receive a National Scholarship.
Candidates have a choice between:
- The UNIL programme in the field of medicine, life sciences and other disciplines within the competence of the FBM; the doctorate in medicine and life sciences (MD-PhD) is awarded by the UNIL upon recommendation from its Faculty of Biology and Medicine.
- The EPFL programme in the field of cellular and molecular biology, biotechnology, neurosciences, biomedical engineering and other disciplines of competence of the EPFL; the doctorate in medicine and sciences (MD-PhD) is granted jointly by the UNIL and the EPFL.
