Molecular Life Sciences
Are you a recent Life Sciences graduate or are you working as a technician and feel you are capable of more? Do you want to increase your knowledge as well as your project skills? Would you like to work more independently on complex tasks and be more versatile in your profession? Then choose the English-taught Master of Molecular Life Sciences course.
With a Bachelors of Life Sciences you can directly enrol in the full-time course, where you will learn and work at the same time. You will spend 3 days a week working as an intern in a laboratory at either a company or institute. The other 2 days you will attend lectures and study on your own. Your tuition fees will be fully covered by the internship company. The teaching team and internship company select suitable students in advance. More information can be found in the flyer.
Become a versatile professional
This course will enrich your knowledge in diverse areas: molecular and cell biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, statistics, bioinformatics, immunology and the development of vaccines, medicines and diagnostic tests.
You will become increasingly competent in devising experimental and project strategies, writing scientific documents, and organising projects.
Your newly acquired competences will allow you to work more independently on complex tasks and be a more versatile professional in your field. Doors will open for you, either within your organisation or further afield.
The linking pin between theory and practice
This course and your newly gained professional experience will make you the linking pin between technicians and experienced project leaders, between different departments, and between theory and practice. You will learn to balance the interests of various experts and partners involved in your projects.
You will deepen and broaden your knowledge, understanding and skills in the fields of scientific research and project management. Your knowledge of quality control, guidelines and regulations, patents, bioinformatics, statistics, finance and business development will help you communicate with experts in these areas.
Your practical experience and scientific knowledge will help you effectively contribute to the efficient implementation of projects in your professional practice.
Į magistro studijų programas gali stoti visi, baigę universitetą arba besimokantys paskutiniame kurse. Studijos kurias baigei ar tebesimokai turi būti panašios krypties kaip ir tos, į kurias nori stoti, kadangi priėmimas yra paremtas ECTS kreditų suderinamumu.
