Courses for Molecular Techniques in Life Science
The two-year master's programme in Molecular Techniques in Life Science consists of three terms of courses and one final term dedicated to the master's degree project. Each term consist of approximately 30 ECTS credits. The courses presented on this page apply to studies starting in autumn 2023.
Year 1
The first year includes advanced level courses in molecular genetics, translational medicine, molecular life science methods, and applied communication, as well as the foundations of biostatistics, programming, bioinformatics, and comparative genomics. Karolinska Institute (first semester) and Stockholm University (second semester) offer the courses during the first year.
