The objective of the PhD Program in Immunology is to provide to students excellent training opportunities in the field of immunology, allergology and infectiology. This will be achieved by offering students the opportunity to work with faculty members on cutting-edge research projects in stimulating research environments. Furthermore, students will obtain an in-depth education and training on various immunological topics to obtain a broad knowledge in the field of immunology. This should help to prepare students for a successful scientific career within academia and/or industry, or on other science-related career paths.
