Molecular Medicine M.Sc.

Degree

Master of Science

Program structure

Only a single subject is usually studied. However, individual programs can be highly interdisciplinary. This means that the contents of the program may come from different fields of study.

Special features

Students are trained to become scientists at the intersection between biology and medicine.

Description

The program is situated at the intersection between biology and medicine. The aim of the program is to train students to become qualified young scientists for the biomedical field, where technical developments provide many challenges. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge from human medicine and the scientific skills from biology and other life sciences.

Professional prospects / competencies

Graduates of the master's program have excellent career opportunities in university research, industry and private laboratories. The Master of Science in Molecular Medicine does not qualify graduates to become physicians.

Internships, lab courses, practical courses

In the second and third semester of the program, students choose six modules from the list of constrained elective modules with individual research focuses. These train the students in the modern methods of biomedical research. Up to two modules can be carried out abroad during this time.

Disciplines involved
