The Department of Biology offers a graduate programme leading to PhD in Molecular Biology. The goal of this programme is to produce independent researchers who can take up challenges of the 21st century biology. The state-of-the-art research labs, experienced faculty and a world class collaborative environment at LUMS contribute to our competitive advantage. Students take advanced classes and conduct independent research in partial fulfilment for their PhD degree.
The PhD degree is conferred upon those candidates who have demonstrated substantial scholarship and the ability to conduct independent research. They have shown, to the satisfaction of the department, their command over their subject of interest, and their capacity to contribute to the frontiers of knowledge.
The PhD Management Programme includes rigorous coursework and high quality research that should be published in peer-reviewed international conferences and journals. The Programme has been designed to ensure that doctoral students have the full range of necessary research and teaching competencies, skills, and sufficient knowledge of their subject area which is essential for designing and executing research at the highest standards of academic excellence. It aims to do this by combining structured course work with supervised research study.
The PhD degree in Mathematics is designed to impart high quality education in Mathematics. The main emphasis of the PhD degree program is course work and research. In addition, the doctoral degree in Mathematics prepares the candidates to undertake independent research. Upon completion of PhD in mathematics, the graduates can pursue career options in research and development sectors of public and private institutions, financial industry, data analytics industry and academia.
