Master's Programme, 2 years

Master of Science in Molecular Medicine

– Programme components

The MSc is a two-year, full-time programme starting in the autumn semester (mid-August). There are two main components: a master’s thesis worth 60 ECTS credits, and theoretical and methodological courses totalling a further 60 credits. Two courses, making up 15 credits, are compulsory. The remaining courses, adding up to 45 credits, are selected from lists of electives. Ideally, electives should be linked to the master’s thesis.


Compulsory courses:
