Admission to QMB

Starting in 2026, admission to the QMB Graduate School follows a research-group-based model.

Doctoral candidates must first apply independently and directly to QMB-affiliated research groups that are offering PhD positions. Information about available positions and the corresponding application procedures is provided by the individual laboratories and on our LinkedIn page.
Once a candidate has been accepted by a QMB-affiliated research group and has joined the laboratory to begin a PhD research project, they may apply separately for admission to the QMB Graduate School.

The QMB admission process includes a motivation letter, a CV, and an interview with the QMB team.

Successful applicants become members of the QMB Graduate School and benefit from its scientific training, professional-development activities, and interdisciplinary research environment.
