MSc and PhD programs
The goal of both study programs is to bring the students up-to-date regarding recent advances in biology and to prepare them for conducting independent scientific research.
Students are required to study courses in general subjects as well as in their field of expertise. MSc students are required up to 40 course work credits and PhD students up to 6 such credits. In addition, students participate in a variety of faculty activities, including weekly seminars addressed by guest speakers from other universities, journal clubs and group meetings.
The core of the study program is an empirical research project each student carries out. These projects last up to two years for MSc students and about four years for PhD ones. The results of the research projects are expected to be published in international scientific journals.
