MSc in Biological Sciences the second-level degree in Biological Sciences (LM-6 class Biology) aims to train graduates with advanced knowledge and expertise in updated biomolecular and biotechnological methodologies for application in diagnostic, nutritional, and environmental fields. These curricula, in combination with core courses, give students flexibility to tailor their degree to their background, interests, and career goals.

The joint master's programme in Molecular Techniques in Life Science fosters graduates for a professional research career in life science. It has a strong focus on molecular techniques for disease therapies and diagnostic tools, coupled with substantial training in data analysis (bioinformatics and programming). The programme is a collaboration between Karolinska Institutet, KTH and Stockholm University at the Science for Life Laboratory in Stockholm, offering students the unique opportunity to study at all three institutions.

Designed for students aiming to work in research, education, and industry in the life sciences sector. Specifically, this MSc will provide you with an advanced understanding of current and emerging issues in both Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare and provide you with an extensive range of lectures on a variety of topics.

The MSc Bioinformatics covers a diverse range of areas in bioinformatics and is suitable for students from a variety of academic backgrounds related to the life sciences (biology, biochemistry, genetics, medicine, and other biosciences). Students will learn and work together with world-leading experts. In the age of big data, conservation biology, biodiversity, genetics, and evolutionary biology involve the study of large amounts of data that increase in volume and variety at a high speed.

The MSc in Biomolecular Sciences is connected to research institute GBB, which has an excellent international reputation and covers the field of systems-, chemical-, and synthetic biology. You are going to study in internationally oriented research and business area and will have the possibility to join the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition in Boston. Besides that, our faculty is the home of the 2016 Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, Ben Feringa, and the Nobel Prize winner in Physics, Frits Zernike.

MSc Biobanks and Complex Data Management. In the dynamic landscape of the life sciences, biobanking has emerged as an essential domain encompassing the collection, storage and processing of biospecimens - whether human, animal or plant tissues and fluids - to support research objectives. The effective management of biobanks, coupled with the sensitive handling of the complex data associated with them, is the cornerstone of modern healthcare and the quest for personalized medicine.
