International Max Planck Research School for Molecular Biology, also known as IMPRS for Molecular Biology, is a 1.5 years MSc program or a 4 year PhD program. The first year in both programs is the same and the students for both programs, or more exactly tracks, are studying in their first year together. Later it is possible to decide to do MSc or PhD, or PhD with integrated MSc. At the end of the first year there is an examination to determine who is suited for the PhD program.
