Curriculum

Study programme

The study programme is modularly structured and students have to acquire 120 credit points according to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ETCS) during 4 semesters.

The first year of study aims to bring together previously acquired knowledge, prepare students to conduct independent project work and teach them to present scientific findings. It comprises three basic (compulsory) modules and a range of required elective modules, from which students must select at least three. The required elective modules can be chosen in any combination from the following subject areas: Biological Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Theoretical Biology, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology.​

During the second year, students will deepen their knowledge in an area of specialisation, conduct practical project work under supervision and write their Master thesis.
