Program Description

The master in Molecular Biology (MSc) content has been developed by several outstanding and multidisciplinary scientific teams. The advanced courses and electives are taught by leading researchers with a proven scientific track record, thus contributing to the research-oriented nature of the program.

The master in Molecular Biology (MSc) requires full-time attendance and active participation in lectures and discovery-based laboratory work to develop the mentality that drives the progress of science.

During practical training, problem-solving formats are used in which students work together to make observations and analyze experimental results. Students who learn via such formats demonstrate better problem-solving ability, conceptual understanding, and success in subsequent courses than those who learn in more traditional, passive ways.
