Entry requirements
Degree requirements Applicants must hold (or be close to completing) a Bachelor’s degree of at least three years (equivalent to 180 ECTS credits). If the degree has not yet been completed at the time of application, proof of having obtained at least 5/6 of the required credits must be provided. Degrees obtained outside Europe will be assessed for equivalence. Subject requirements The Bachelor’s degree should be in biology or a closely related field with a strong focus on the life sciences (e.g. biochemistry, biophysics, biotechnology, pharmacology). Applicants are expected to have a solid background in fundamental biological principles and practical laboratory experience. Programmes with a predominantly applied or technical focus (e.g. nursing, laboratory technology, industrial biotechnology, fisheries science, agriculture) are generally not considered sufficient preparation. Medical degrees are also not typically considered equivalent unless complemented by a strong background in basic life sciences.
