How to Apply

The SRP Online applications are open! 

Students must

  • be currently enrolled in a university in biology, bio-physics, chemistry, bio-engineering, bio-informatics, quantitative biology, genetics, medical or other life sciences related programs
  • have a minimum of GPA equivalent to a 3.75/4.0 grade or higher, or top 5% of your class
  • have completed at least two years of undergraduate work up to the first year of a master’s degree before the start of the program
  • show a strong interest in pursuing a career in life sciences
  • must apply using the on-line application. No other formats are acceptable.

The selection is based upon

  • Application – gpa and short personal and scientific essay questions. Questions found in FAQs
  • University bachelor transcript (and master’s if you have started your master’s) or school official list of classes and grades
  • One letter of recommendation
  • Basic life sciences understanding is essential; previous lab experience is a plus.

Only applications with the full application material will be taken into consideration.

On-line application

ATTENTION: Prepare all your short personal essays and lab choice explanations, your transcript(s), and contact details for your referee in advance. Once you begin your application, you must finish it in one sitting.

YOU CANNOT SAVE IT and COME BACK.

The online application will open the end of September for the following summer.

The new application deadline is November 15th at 23:59 CET.

All applicants will receive an email about six weeks after the deadline with the result of their application.
