14 Molecular Biology Masters Degree Programs in Sweden

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 in order to better understand and control various types of infectious diseases in the future.

Detailed knowledge of proteins and other biomolecules is crucial to our understanding of living processes. By studying protein science, you will be prepared for challenges such as unveiling the molecular causes of disease, designing tools for early and reliable diagnosis, and finding effective therapies. This master’s program will give you deep insights into mechanisms of protein action, based on complex structural aspects and mediated through binding dynamics, selectivity, and catalytic function. You will also study pharmacology and drug development.

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.

The master’s programme in Molecular Biotechnology has been developed in close cooperation with businesses working within bioscience and the biotechnology sector. This makes it unique and means that you will learn systems biology methods that are in demand both within the employment market and in research.

Molecular biology is the study of the most fundamental processes of life. As such it also provides tools that are increasingly important in investigations of all aspects of life science. This Master’s programme offers courses that will both deepen and broaden your education in modern molecular biology and related topics. It provides you with the opportunity to design your own education with the specialisation that you prefer. There is a broad range of courses to choose from. The knowledge and skills you will gain open doors to employment within different areas in the industry, academia and the public sector. The programme also provides you with a solid grounding for PhD studies.

This programme connects fundamental research with its applications and integrates genetics, gene technology, cell biology, molecular biology and molecular biotechnology. The common basis is within molecular genetics, which is the discipline that explains how the information in the genes is expressed and how it can give rise to various traits in an organism. Emphasis is put on genetic mechanisms underlying disease, genetic mapping, molecular genetic techniques and diagnostic methods. Training in entrepreneurship and processes of innovation and commercialisation in the molecular biotechnology field provides a fundamental base for careers in biotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry. A majority of the graduated students continue with PhD studies, often within the biomedical research field.
