International BioCamp 2013
Novartis Biotechnology Leadership Camp 2013
The Novartis International Biotechnology Leadership Camp (BioCamp) brings together selected top students from science and business universities from around the world.
Do you have what it takes?
- We can only consider applications of university students in medicine, natural/life sciences and/or business administration.
- If you are not enrolled/registered in a university of one of the countries listed below, we cannot consider your application.
- BioCamp will be conducted entirely in English. Therefore students must be sufficiently proficient to both understand and contribute to the corresponding conversations.
- Full time attendance from Sunday, August 25, 5pm until Wednesday, August 28, 6pm (local times in Basel) is mandatory.
- Selection to BioCamp is based on academic excellence, professional experience and extracurricular activities.
What are the timelines?
Deadline for applications is May 24, 2013. Only complete applications will be considered.
Selected students will be informed via e-mail in July 2013.
How do you apply?
To apply for BioCamp you are required to submit the following documents:
- Application form (Download here)
- CV
- Motivation letter (1 page on why you'd like to attend)
Do’s and Don’ts:
- If you are not currently formally enrolled/registered as a student in medicine, natural/life sciences and/or business administration in one of the countries listed below, we cannot consider your application. Please note that it is not your nationality that counts, but the location of your university.
- Please only apply once to the appropriate contact listed for your university’s country. Sending your application to more than one country contact causes unnecessary parallel work, and is therefore counterproductive.
- Only complete applications will be considered.
Only students currently enrolled at a university in one of the countries listed below may apply. They are asked to e-mail the application form together with their CV and motivation letter to:
