Job perspectives

There is an increasing need, both national and international, for experts in the field of Cancer Genomics & Developmental Biology.

The research school aims to prepare Master's students for a PhD study in one of the participating research groups. The PhD programme currently enrols about 130 PhD students, with a turnover of about 30 every year.

Students that choose to leave the research school after obtaining their Master's degree profit from a solid education in Molecular Genetics in addition to their specialized knowledge of Cancer and Developmental Biology. There is a great demand for Master's trained in both fundamental and disease-oriented aspects of 'Biomedical Genetics'.

Master's and PhD students trained in the research school have ample opportunity to embark on careers in:

• academic research
• fundamental research in non-academic institutes
• biotechnology companies
• pharmaceutical industry
• policy-making in science and health care
• education
