The Master’s Degree in Molecular Biomedicine seeks to provide advanced, multidisciplinary and integrated training in the field of Molecular Biology of Health and Illness aimed mainly at research into the molecular basis of human pathology, as well as the discovery and development of new preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures based on knowledge about Molecular Biosciences. In summary, this Master’s Degree seeks to provide professionals with cellular and molecular training which will allow them to work in the both in basic research and clinical research and to be able to promote applied and “translational” research.
The Master’s Degree in Molecular Biomedicine comprises 5 specialized fields that focus on specific illnesses (cancer, immune and inflammatory diseases, neurological illnesses, rare illnesses and cardiovascular disease). The teaching programme will provide up-to-date knowledge of the cellular and molecular basis and the physiopathology of the aforementioned diseases, as well as advanced experimental training in the laboratory which includes some of the main research techniques in Molecular Biomedicine.
Furthermore, the programme of the Master’s Degree in Molecular Biomedicine will encourage the development and consolidation of the general “cross-curricular” competences which are considered fundamental for the future professional activity of students, among which we can highlight:
Admission Requirements
Students eligible for admission to the Master’s Degree in Molecular Biomedicine must have a Bachelor’s Degree in Experimental or Health Sciences: Biochemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine, Chemistry or other similar fields, and wish to orient their studies toward specialization in Molecular Biomedicine. Should a Spanish or foreign graduate of any other discipline apply for admission, their academic background will be examined before granting admission.
Also, since the lessons are taught in English, B2 level or equivalent is required.
Optionally, cover letters may be submitted to endorse the application.
Once admission is requested, the Management Commission will select and accept students in the Masters Programme. This Commission will assess each request for admission in view of students’ qualifications and previous studies.
Selection criteria include a valuation of the following:
1. Academic transcript (70%)
2. The adequacy of the applicant to the teachings of the Master profile (25%)
3. Other merits: English level higher than B2, this master’s degree as first choice, etc (5%)
4. Interviews with applicants could be request in cases where deemed appropriate.
5. After the deadline for submitting requests for admission, applicants meeting all the requirements must fill out an online selection form. Each applicant will receive instructions by email to access the form. Students will have up to 4 working days, counted from the closure date for admission requests, to complete this form. The aim of this form is to assess the aspects given in items 1-3.
Specific Admission Documents and Requirements
Applicants with access studies pending finalization must include a Statement of having finished the previous studies stating the expected date of finalization.
Mandatory
In addition, it will respond to a online selection form -different at SIGM@- whose link will be sent by email to applicants.
Optional
Access to the Register of Universities, Schools and Degrees (RUSD)
