The field of biomedicine encompasses knowledge from the areas of basic medicine, biochemistry and molecular biology, clinical biochemistry and laboratory biomedicine, clinical medicine, genetics, microbiology, neuroscience, pharmacy, public health, toxicology and veterinary medicine.
Biomedicine
Overview
The need for a high-quality and up-to-date doctoral programme to acquire suitable knowledge in these areas is dictated by rapid and extensive development in these various scientific fields, as well as their impact on the quality of life. Due to previous good experiences and the advantages of an interdisciplinary approach to existing postgraduate studies, the doctoral study of biomedicine is organised at university level. The field of biomedicine is very broad and is being developed at the first two educational levels by various faculty members at the University of Ljubljana. It seems reasonable to link the third educational level (doctoral studies) in terms of organisation and content. This approach also enables the collaboration of teachers and researchers from separate scientific fields, thus forming a broader interdisciplinary field. The connections of university research with research institutes are also achieved.
The primary emphasis of doctoral study is on research, interdis- ciplinarity and collaboration between internationally renowned local and foreign experts. Based on recommendations of the European University Association (EUA), international student exchange is also encouraged. As the end result of the research work, the publishing of at least one scientific article is expected. Special emphasis is placed on a productive relation between the doctoral candidates and their mentors. Students can choose mentors from amongst internationally recognised and established experts in compliance with the rules of the University of Ljubljana and collaborating faculties.
Basic Information
The duration of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Programme in Biomedicine is four years (240 ECTS credits), and according to the Bologna guidelines this represents the third cycle of the educational scheme. The programme has been conceived in agreement with all the requirements and legislation of the Republic of Slovenia and meets all criteria for doctoral study established by the EUA. In this way, the direct inclusion of programme components in an international exchange with universities from other countries using the ECTS system is rendered possible.
The programme consists of organised classes (60 credits) and individual research work for the doctoral dissertation (180 credits).
The programme leads to the degree of Doctor of Science in the following fields:
- biochemistry and molecular biology
- pharmacy
- genetics
- public health
- clinical biochemistry and laboratory biomedicine
- medicine - clinical orientation
- medicine - basic orientation
- microbiology
- neuroscience
- toxicology
- veterinary medicine
The programme is organised by the University of Ljubljana through its faculties and three Slovene research institutes which contribute teachers who take part in organised courses, mentors and the research infrastructure for executing the experimental part of doctoral work.

Supervisor and Potential Supervisors
Prior to enrolment, candidates are required to choose a supervisor and submit upon enrolment at the latest his/her’s written acceptance of mentorship. The doctoral dissertation supervisor or co-supervisor is a university teacher (assistant professor, associate professor, full professor) or researcher (research associate, senior researcher or higher research associate) with a relevant scientific bibliography in the field of the doctoral dissertation.
The superviosr’s role is to guide the student and to provide conditions for work. The superviosr must ensure that appropriate research capacities and research infrastructure are available. A foreign expert with a title comparable to a Slovenian title can be a supervisor.
