Master of Science [M.S] [Biology - Cell and Molecular Biology] From Uppsala University

The fundamental knowledge of multi-cellular animals and plants makes you well equipped for the pharmaceutical and other biotechnical job markets and basic research. You can also specialise in microbiology or structural biology.

The combination of cell and molecular biology in this specialisation permits you to develop a deep insight into biological systems, from molecular interactions at the subatomic level to complex systems and their interactions in cells and organelles.

In most courses are the lectures intertwined with discussion seminars and laboratory practicals to give you an overall knowledge about cells and cellular processes, and how to work with cells.

All teachers for the individual courses in the Master Programme in at ?are active scientists, ensuring that you will get an education that reaches to the absolute forefront of the respective field.

Career

Your primary work area will be in research and development in academia or industry, for instance in pharmaceutical industry and biotechnical industry, forensic medicine, diagnostics and agriculture industry.?

The training provided in applying solid theoretical knowledge to applied problems and projects, accounting for projects and studies orally and in writing, and being able to work in projects both individually and in groups, is valuable in all these areas of work.The specialisation in cell and molecular biology builds a strong base for PhD training in Sweden or abroad. Your most important merit in that respect is your degree project.?

With a careful choice of the courses and topic for your degree project you will leave this specialisation with a solid theoretical knowledge regarding molecular processes in the cell as well as practical knowledge of the methods you need to study them.As a biologist, you can also work as a teacher or science journalist.
