Course content

This programme offers broad training at the frontier of research. Molecular life sciences aim is to understand the structure, function and regulation of biological systems from molecular to organism level. This rapidly growing field, seeing extensive technological advances and emerging new sub-disciplines, opens up a broad spectrum of career opportunities.

The Master’s Programme in Molecular Life Sciences offers you the opportunity to study at the forefront of research into the molecular processes of life. You will gain a deep understanding of how biological systems function, from the molecular level to the whole organism. The programme combines an international and interactive research environment with a strong focus on laboratory work and experimental methods, preparing you for a career in both academia and industry.

Reasons to choose the Master’s Programme in Molecular Life Science:

• Gain broad and in-depth knowledge in molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, and biochemistry.
• Study in an international research environment with close connections to ongoing cutting-edge projects.
• Tailor your studies with up to 45 credits of optional courses within or outside molecular life sciences.
• Conduct your degree project in active research projects at the university or at external research institutes and companies.
