Molecular Biology

专业介绍

The MSc degree programme in Molecular Biology  has both an applied and a research-oriented perspective, reflecting the interests of business and industry, research institutions and the public sector. This flexible programme accommodates the interests of the individual student, because it allows you to specialise in a particular subject area while acquiring a general mastery in the field of molecular biology.

Specialisation

Students can specialise within particular  fields, covering five central branches of molecular biology in which Aarhus University is particularly strong: molecular cell biology, protein science with a focus on structural biology, molecular plant biology and quantitative genetics, molecular nutrition and bioinformatics.

In this way, students can tailor the study programme to fit their specific interests.

During the first year, students follow an individually planned course programme, while the second year is reserved for carrying out the thesis project under the supervision of a scientist. This provides for excellent collaboration opportunities within the research group of the supervisor, and gives students a chance to participate in the group’s research projects, academic discussions and publication activities.

World-class research

Teaching at the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics is greatly influenced by the research conducted here, as the lecturers are active researchers. Students gain insight into on-going research projects across the entire spectrum of molecular biology, from microorganisms over plants to humans. The understanding of biochemistry and molecular biology starts at the atomic level over molecules to tissues and organisms.
