Characteristics of the MSc Medical Laboratory Science

Audio visual study material
- You will have access to many hours of audio visual materials, which are essential teaching materials. Thus, you can study wherever and whenever you want.

Practical activities
- Approximately twice a week you will carry out practical activities that will be reviewed and evaluated by your specialized teachers.

Complementary material
- Class summaries, articles to stay up-to-date... You will have everything you need to keep on learning.

Master class
- You will learn from well-known experts in the medical sector thanks to our master classes, which you can watch as many times as you want.

MSc / PGDip final project
- At the end of the course you will conduct a research project on a topic of your interest. One of our teachers will supervise your project.

What clinical laboratory equipment will you use?

The MSc Molecular Biology programme includes an introductory module on the basic concepts of cleaning, disinfecting and sterilising laboratory equipment and materials.

In addition to this, during the optional internship, you will come into direct contact with a range of different machines that are integral to biomedical and biotech laboratory work, such as centrifuges, coagulation analysers, humidity analysers, mass comparators, and microbalances.
There has been a real boom in biomedical and biotechnology laboratories in recent decades. With our MSc / PGDip Molecular Biology on your CV, you will be able to apply for a range of challenging and rewarding positions across various sectors.

Most employment opportunities available to molecular biology experts can be found in public and private research laboratories, diagnostic laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, multinational biomedical development companies, and food technology companies.
