Requirements

Entry Requirements

You have successfully completed a Bachelor's degree programme with at least 180 ECTS credits or equivalent in Biology, Human Biology or a related subject (e.g., Biomedical Science, Bioinformatics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medicine, Physics, or Biophysics). If you have not yet completed a Bachelor's programme in one of the above-mentioned subjects, you should expect to do so within the next months. Your Bachelor's curriculum should include a final research project (Bachelor's thesis) with a written thesis credited with at least 10 ECTS credits. If your Bachelor's programme does not require a thesis, you are still eligible to apply if you have completed or will complete an equivalent course or internship. A course or an internship will be considered as equivalent, if it concerns a long-term research project (of at least eight weeks) combined with a written report according to good scientific writing standards. The project details of the equivalent course or internship should be described in the online application form. A transcript of records from your Bachelor's degree that indicates your grade point average is required. If you are currently a Bachelor's student, a transcript of records with an ECTS point level of at least 120 ECTS points and a preliminary average grade is required.
