Master's Program in Protein Science

Programme duration: 2 years (4 semesters)
Credits: 120 ECTS credits
Programme start: autumn semesters
 
Programme description:
Proteins are central to understanding and solving both medical and biotechnological problems on the molecular level. This programme explores the molecular structures and functional mechanisms of a large number of proteins. Graduates from the programme will master methods of cloning, expression and purification of proteins, and a number of specialized techniques for analyzing proteins. They will also be able to use and understand primary scientific publications, and have the ability to independently plan, carry out and critically evaluate experiments.
 
The first year the students follow advanced courses in biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology. The second year, they choose 1-3 projects in the field of protein science, that can be carried out intramurally or in a company with relevant research profile. Participation in seminar series, carrier training and development of other general skills is also mandatory during the second year of studies.
 
Graduates from the programme will be highly skilled in research and development, and are well prepared both for work in the biomedical/biotechnical industry or for entering a Ph.D. programme.
