Program Description

Biology is by nature a multifaceted science. Today’s biologists face a growing number of research challenges, such as the link between climate change and the ongoing biodiversity crisis, or the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Such topics require integrative approaches, combining elements from different scientific domains. If you are interested in specializing in this field, you may consider pursuing a master in Biology (Molecular and Cellular Life Sciences) (MSc).

Molecular & Cellular Life Sciences covers a wide range of subjects such as animal and plant development, microbiology, cell signaling pathways, cancer biology, stem cell biology, human biology, virology, and immunology. Courses of this profile span multiple levels of biological organization, from whole organisms down to the molecular level. By choosing this profile, you will acquire the laboratory skills required to engage in cutting-edge research.
