The MSc in Molecular Biology program aims to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of and practical skills in the field of molecular biology. This includes application of molecular biology techniques, a general knowledge of the molecular biology methods, ability to alter and modulate genes, a practical approach to scientific problems in multidisciplinary teams with an emphasis on medicine-related projects, understanding of the genomic data, planning and performing genetical modifications, setting up and testing recombinant expression systems for medicinal or industrial purposes, translation of laboratory results to clinical practice, obtaining, preserving, and evaluating genetic material, and the ability to test and establish personalized medicine-based approaches. The students can specialize in the fields of biochemistry and genomics.
Relevant bachelor degree and a compulsory entrance interview. Students with relevant degrees may apply if they have minimum 70 credits from required criteria subjects (6 mathematics, 6 informatics, 4 physics, 20 chemistry, 60 biology). Detailed transcript (containing name of subject, number of contact hours, grade/mark received, credit) is compulsory to to submit with the application documents.

During the selection process we examine the competency of the applicant in two ways: the Faculty decides about the eligibility of the applicant by examining the documents of previous studies (degree certificate, transcript, subject descriptions, results). A detailed transcript must be submitted that contains: name of subjects, number of contact hours, credit/result. This is followed by a subject-related entance interview (via Skype if in-person not possible), where the scientific knowledge/background, level of English, motivation and communication skills of the applicant are assessed through relevant scientific questions.
