Programme Structure and Funding
The project is a joint doctoral programme of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Rutgers University. The applicant submitted an application to NJIT, registered in the Department of Biomedicine Engineering of NJIT and graduated with a joint NJIT and Rutgers diploma (joint diploma). The NJIT, in close proximity to the geographical location of two institutions of higher education at the University of Rutgers, facilitates students ' access to courses, laboratories, libraries and academic seminars in both schools, combining science with education and scientific research opportunities in the clinical field. In addition, both schools are located in Newark, which facilitates the exchange and interaction of students with the New Jersey pharmaceutical industry, the medical equipment industry and medical institutions. In the area of training, applicants have the option of taking part in the course at the University of Rutgers.
The project is a full-time Ph.D. programme, with only 1-2 students enrolled in 4-5 years.
Applicants can receive scholarship support. The amount depends on the applicant's background, the academic sector and the funding of the mentor ' s research. Scholarships are usually awarded in the form of tuition deductions, subsistence allowance, TA, RA, Grader etc.
