Programme profile


This programme has seven learning paths which are connected to the specialisations offered in the Biology and Medical Biology Masters programmes. In the first year, you will develop a broad knowledge of the field by following modules from all learning paths.

In second part of the programme, course content of the courses will become more specialised. You can deepen your knowledge and attune it according to your interests. You will also become familiar with the philosophical and ethical sides of your field.
