[Austria] MD & PhD Programme in Molecular Medicine Vienna Biocenter
In addition, we request letters of recommendation from two scientists who are familiar with your academic work and who can judge your potential as a PhD student. Please forward the enclosed letters to the referees and ask them to send their letters of recommendation directly to the dean of the PhD Programme at the above address. The student himself / herself is responsible for obtaining the letters and should actively inquire with the respective referees whether the letteres have been sent.
Please note that we will be unable to process your application without letters of recommendation. These letters are therefore an essential part of your application, and it is your responsibility to ensure that the referees write to us before June 24, 2007.
