MENTORING

A main concern of the MCbiology PhD program is the successful progression of students through the program.
For this purpose the program includes a Graduate Student Mentoring Committee. A member of this committee (tutor) accompanies a student group throughout their 4-year program. The tutor regularly meets on a one-to-one basis with each student and provides guidance through the common hurdles encountered in a PhD program, in particular the program´s curricular sections and the student´s choices for thesis research work. The tutor also provides advice on the choice of future career paths.
In addition, each student has a dedicated Student Research committee composed of three members selected among the PhD program faculty. The committee follows closely the student´s research progress. This committee ensures that the student receives timely feedback and suggestions on their research.
