  1. Question

    I want to do PhD in Astrobiology. I am an Indian student. How can I get admission for PhD? where?

    I don’t know of any programs that give a PhD in astrobiology. Most students who want to become astrobiologists take a degree program that involves study and research in both a physical science and a biological science. A few United States universities, including the University of Washington and Pennsylvania State University, give certificates that show this sort of concentration in astrobiology. I don’t know if this is also being done at any Indian universities. David Morrison
