Organization

The Master in Molecular & Cellular Biology starts with a common core in which students will acquire solid knowledge in gene expression regulation (Molecular Genetics and epigenetics of the cell; 6 ECTS) and biochemistry (Chemistry & Biochemistry; 6ECTS). The first year of Master MCB is highly remarkable for its extensive hands-on-experience where students are given the chance to perform a lot of experiments (Driving Experimentation in Biology; 18 ECTS). Students build their own scientific project starting from the design of the project, followed by 3 weeks of experimentation in a dedicated lab at UGA.

An introduction to the world of business, its issues and its functioning will be offered to you (3 ECTS)
