Overview

Education in the Bioscience from Aarhus University

If you have a talent for research, it is possible to continue your studies and achieve a PhD degree. The Department of Ecoscience offers an active and inspiring environment for young researchers and has approx. 20 PhD students; nearly half of them are from abroad.
Most of the Department's scientists have large international networks and therefore good opportunities for working together with foreign scientists and establish contacts which can form the basis for postdoc studies abroad.
