The Fribourg Graduate School of Life Sciences (FGLS) is an interdisciplinary and international graduate school, which offers a coordinated doctoral programme in life sciences at the University of Fribourg. It addresses doctoral fellows in the fields of biology, biochemistry, molecular medicine, chemistry, physics, bioinformatics and mathematics who have a life science focus. State-of-the-art theoretical and experimental research will lead to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
The Faculty of Sciences offers the following degrees related to biology:
- PhD in Biology
- PhD in Biochemistry
- PhD in Bioinformatics
Currently, we are recruiting students in the fields of:
- Protein Homeostasis in Autophagy
- Plant Cell Polarity
- Developmental and Behavioural Neurobiology
- Chronobiology
- Lipid Homoestasis in yeast
- Nutrient signalling and growth control
- Molecular and cellular Neurobiology
- Regulation of plant symbiosis
- Community Ecology
We offer an integrated research and training programme which leads to a PhD after three to four years. The entire programme is run in English and includes a supervision and mentoring programme, as well as courses of novel technologies and soft skills.

My major is in green chemistry so what can I choose to be my career? I want to conduct a study on 2-chloropyrimidine, about its functions.
