The Master’s program in Biology spans two years and provides modern, research-oriented training in a wide range of research areas within the biological sciences. These areas include animal physiology, biotechnology, botany, cellular biology, computational biology, ecology, genetics, microbiology, nanophysiology, neurobiology, plant physiology, and zoology.

Students receive a thorough theoretical education through lectures, courses, and seminars, followed by several lab rotations during which they can explore diverse fields of scientific research. For their Master’s thesis, students select a research group and work on a scientific project in a modern research laboratory for six to eight months.

The Master’s program in Biology offers five specializations (majors). Students are taught in small groups (typically 10–20 people) in a variety of theory and lab courses. Students can design an engaging and personalized program based on their preferences. All courses are taught in English, and many of our students have an international background and completed their bachelor’s studies abroad.
