Infection Biology is a growing field within biology that combines immunology, microbiology, molecular biology and cell biology. Research and education within this field are important to understand and control various types of infectious diseases in the future.

Molecular Biotechnology is a graduate (second-cycle) program of studies that leads to a Magister degree (Polish equivalent of a Master's degree). The study program is made up of compulsory courses and elective courses. Compulsory courses allow broadening your theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the following areas: molecular biotechnology, genetic engineering, biochemistry, cell biology, medical biotechnology, plant biotechnology, bioinformatics, the application of biotechnology in environmental protection, and protection of industrial property and copyright.

The goal of this programme is to educate specialists for independent work in research and education areas of modern life sciences and technologies. Having completed the Molecular Biology programme, a graduate has deep knowledge of Molecular Biology and is able to analyze and evaluate scientific and practical data, generate and implement scientific novelties in areas of modern life sciences, and independently solve problems related to molecular biology, biotechnology, and biomedicine.

Molecular biology is the discipline within the life sciences aimed at understanding the molecular basis of life in health and disease. It is a multidisciplinary area of study and deals with the structure and function of molecules as well as their interplay in creating the phenomenon of life.

The international Master’s Degree in Molecular and Cell Biology, entirely held in English, offers students up-to-date and in-depth training to cope successfully with the future challenges of life sciences by emphasizing the most innovative cellular and molecular aspects of modern Biology.

Molecular biology is the discipline within the life sciences aimed at understanding the molecular basis of life in health and disease. It is a multidisciplinary area of study and deals with the structure and function of molecules as well as their interplay in creating the phenomenon of life. This programme is jointly organised by the University of Antwerp, the KU Leuven and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (coordinating institution). You can apply for this programme at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Recent developments in the biomolecular sciences, particularly in genome sequencing, the mapping of molecular interaction networks, the biology of systems, structural biology, molecular evolution and cell development constitute a significant challenge to the teaching of biology. Developments of this type, however, have opened up new possibilities for building an integrated understanding of the functioning and evolution of life. The copious stream of information flowing from such advances has meant that a new teaching approach and a significant degree of knowledge integration have both become necessary. With this in mind, the second cycle in Molecular and Cell Biology places a strong emphasis on the study of genomes, cellular regulation and development, and molecular evolution. There are significant theoretical-practical and practical strands to the study programs which allow participants to extend their knowledge base and acquire laboratory training in the methods of modern Molecular and Cell Biology. There is a further component focusing on Bio-business that should help the transfer of knowledge acquired during the second cycle to the market place, and the setting up of biotechnology micro companies. Molecular and Cell Biology is one of the cornerstones of biotechnology and with a solid training in this area, graduates should be well prepared to set up micro companies to operate in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors. The growing use of new molecular and genetic diagnostic tools in the national health service and in the food industry means there is a call for professionals with a solid training in the biomolecular sciences. The 2nd cycle in Molecular and Cell Biology at Aveiro was designed with the intention of preparing professionals for the field with competences in modern methods for the analysis of genes and genomes, RNA, proteins and other biomolecules that are of importance in clinical diagnostics and food safety.

Pace’s MS in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program offers a unique, cutting-edge curriculum that provides you with the professional training required for the increasingly dynamic job market in the pharmaceutical biotech, biochemistry, and molecular biology fields.

The Molecular Systems Biology track offers you extensive training in modern molecular biology and education focused on systems biology (omics, gene/protein structure-function relationships) with a special focus on molecular interaction networks.

The Master in Cellular and Molecular Biotechnology (CMB) Over the last decade, significant methodological and conceptual advances in the life sciences area have enabled the development of the so-called “new biology.” This new biology is mainly based on the ability to study cells at a molecular level thanks to the increasing availability of genomic sequences of many species and the possibility to determine, in a comprehensive way, gene expression profiles as well as the interactions between biological macromolecules.

The Molecular Biology and Biotechnology programme connects fundamental research with its applications and integrates genetics, gene technology, cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, systems biology, biotechnology, and bioinformatics. The programme focuses to provide all the necessary knowledge needed to promote a broad range of expertise, erudition, and an intellectual sense of satisfaction during studies, practice, and work. During this program, you acquire in-depth knowledge and skills via theoretical and practical training.

The Master of Science in Molecular Biology and Genetics is an intensive, full-time graduate program taught in English and designed for graduates at the BA level who are seeking a qualification in advanced areas of Biology, with special attention to Molecular Biology, Genetics, and Biochemistry.

The objective of the Master's in Cellular and Molecular Biology is to prepare Biologists endowed with a profound and integrated knowledge of the biological systems, going from the molecular and cellular level to complex organisms. Such Biologists will be able to apply their knowledge in specific areas of applied biology such as biotechnology, biomedicine and neurosciences.

In the Master’s programme in Molecular Biology you acquire an extensive toolbox for investigating all kinds of biological problems with advanced molecular methods. Your teachers are internationally renowned scientists and you will carry out your thesis project within a research group. You will get a good basis for further doctoral studies and work with research and development, either at a university or in a biotech or pharmaceutical company.

If you search for a deep understanding of microbial and other biological systems, driving from the molecular and cellular organization of individual or community to apply in different areas (Environmental, Industrial and Biomedical) then come and seek your tools in the Microbial and Molecular Biology (MMB) Master Program.

ABMB Master Program is currently conducted in the Faculty of Biology, the University of Bucharest only for foreign students and it is coordinated by the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (DBBM). This program was accredited by ARACIS in 2013.

MSc in Molecular Biology is a form part of our day-to-day lives wherever we are, and we constantly have to make decisions drawing on scientific and technological knowledge. Natural scientists tell us the significance of C02 in relation to climate change, and when we have to decide whether to reduce C02 emissions, we need to understand what sort of knowledge we have and on what it is based.
