MSc in Life Sciences
Registration is open
About the Program
The Department of Life Sciences comprises a team of investigators conducting cutting-edge research in numerous realms of modern biology.
Topics being addressed in departmental laboratories span the entire size range of biology, beginning with the determination of protein structures at atom-level resolution, continuing to the examination of single-celled organisms and multi-cellular systems, and reaching the study of whole animals and communities. In tackling questions related to protein science, microbiology, development, physiology, neurobiology, genomics, structural biology, ecology, and other fields, researchers in the Department of Life Sciences rely on a wide variety of experimental systems, including bacteria, archaea, yeast, plants, insects, fish and
other forms of marine life, rodents, and mammals, to unravel the mystery of life at the gene, protein, cell, system, and organism levels.
The M.Sc. program offers a Thesis (research) track and requires two years of full-time study. Outstanding students may join the combined M.Sc.-Ph.D. tack during the 2nd year of their M.Sc. studies.
