M.Sc. in Biosciences

The M.Sc. in Biosciences programme is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the major sub-disciplines of life sciences such as Molecular biology, Molecular cell biology, Biochemistry, Developmental biology, Immunology, Instrumentation for biological applications and Genetic Engineering.

Building a solid foundation in these areas paves the way for advanced elective courses in Biotechnology. Cutting-edge laboratories offer students practical training in Animal and Plant Cell Culture, Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, and Bioinformatics.

The ten practical courses (across all semesters) are designed to impart basic and advanced skill sets covered in the programme’s theory courses. This ensures the students have sufficient training to conduct research projects during their dissertations.

In the last two semesters, the dissertation project prepares students with vital laboratory skills and instructs them on how to design and carry out in vitro and in silico studies focused on the Department of Biosciences’ key areas.

Additionally, weekly colloquia and lab meetings require students to present their progress to faculty members and doctoral researchers, which hones their communication skills and boosts their confidence.
