Universität Basel UNIBAS
Description
Description de la formation
This Master’s degree program is offered by the Biozentrum of the University of Basel. It provides direct access to molecular biology research and teaching at the international top level in a working atmosphere which equally promotes professional and personal development. The core activity of the Master’s degree is a supervised practical research project of at least 12 months length. In parallel, the students attend lectures and seminars in their area of specialization. Possible areas of specialization are Biochemistry, Biophysics, Cell Biology, Computational Biology, Developmental Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Infection Biology, Microbiology, Neurobiology, Pharmacology and Structural Biology. The Master’s degree demonstrates the capacity to conduct a scientific research project and to present the results in written and oral form.

Admission
Conditions d’admission
Admission
Admission to the Master's degree program Molecular Biology is given for holders of a Bachelor of Science (B Sc) in Biology, Major in Molecular Biology from the University of Basel, or comparable degrees from other Swiss or foreign education institutions recognized by the University of Basel.To qualify as equivalent, the external degree has to be subject-related and requires a broad education in mathematical methods and statistics, physical and biophysical chemistry, structural biology as well as substantial practical courses in biophysical chemistry, biochemistry and related topics. A typical equivalent degree generally is a Bachelor in Molecular Biology with 180 credit points from an internationally recognized university. In the absence of complete equivalence, additional requirements can be imposed towards admittance. These can be fulfilled within the Bachelor program at the University of Basel.
