9 Biology Masters Degree Programs in Italy

The Master of Science in Quantitative and Computational Biology is designed to train experts in biotechnology, computational biology, bioinformatics, and biological data and systems biology analysis, who will have the opportunity to learn in a multidisciplinary context, interacting with students with different experiences. Strong emphasis will be given to quantitative and computational aspects, with a focus on tools to analyze, model, and understand biological systems and phenomena.

This 2-Year Master’s Degree in Biotechnology for Innovative Therapeutics bridges theoretical knowledge to hands-on training in biological research, with an emphasis on biological processes underpinning human physiology and pathology.

Our Master of Science (MSc) in Forensic Biology is specifically designed for students who wish to consolidate their knowledge in this field further, increasing their specific skills and professional capacity. The program approaches the subject from different perspectives: the ethical-legal and the purely scientific and analytical. The course of study guarantees theoretical training and a solid specialized education obtained through research activities and practical laboratory sessions.

The Master’s degree course in Health Biology has as its primary objective the training of a Biologist with specific skills in the field of Biomedical and Health Sciences. This course provides a suitable cultural basis for access to Bio sanitary Specialization Schools recognized by the Ministry of Health (necessary for the managerial career in both public and private laboratory), Research Doctorates in the biomedical field and II level Master.

The Quantitative Biology programme, taught in English, integrates biology, physics, and computational skills, preparing graduates for precise experimental work and theoretical modelling. Focused on emerging technologies, it applies these skills to areas like protein engineering, drug discovery, and synthetic biology. Fields of interests are: biochemical and biophysical, experimental methodologies, analytical techniques, systems biology modelling, linear algebra, matrix calculus, AI basics, Python programming, and formal logic elements.

The Master's Degree course in Biology provides a highly specialized training course for the access to advanced levels of training (PhD) and to undertake scientific research in universities or in public or private research laboratories, project activities in biotechnology, pharmaceutical and agro/food companies and public and private organizations, and job opportunities in the fields of environmental impact, biodiversity and health.

This Master’s degree in Evolutionary Biology aims to train expert graduates with advanced and operational knowledge in the field of biodiversity, capable of applying such knowledge to the conservation of biological heritage. The subjects covered in the Master’s degree fully utilise the knowledge of the properties of biological systems acquired during the three-year undergraduate programme, delving into topics related to evolutionary mechanisms and dynamics, reproductive and adaptive strategies, and morpho-functional, genetic, and biomolecular plasticity in organism-environment relationships.

An Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Membiomed programme designed to prepare a future generation of scientists, entrepreneurs and senior executives for a leading role in studying the complex behaviour of cellular membranes and exploiting their full therapeutic potential.

The Master's Degree Course in Biology, belonging to the Degree Class L-6 Biology, has a duration of two academic years. All graduates in the class of the Bachelor's Degrees in Biological Sciences and (L-13) and Biotechnology (L-2) and related Degree Classes can access the Master's Degree Course in Biology.
