Overview
The study plan for this Advanced Genetics master's degree at Autonomous University of Barcelona offers several advantages to students. Among the strengths of this new version of the master's degree are:
- New modules designed taking into account the first batch of new students from the university's bachelor's degree programmes
- Elimination of itineraries and specialisations
- Removal of overlaps with modules of other master's degrees
- Lectures in English
- Theory concentrated in the first semester, which means that the second semester is totally free for work on the research paper. This allows study periods that can be spent outside the UAB's area of influence.

Programme Structure
- One compulsory module has been programmed that cuts across the whole curriculum, presenting the latest advances in genetics through seminars on plant genomics, genetics for development or other areas that are not included in the other course modules.
- Learning outcomes for the students will be defined by their success in integrating course contents in their final dissertation, the knowledge of theory acquired in the different modules and the methodologies developed in the practical sessions.
- The experience accumulated in organising this master's degree allows us to offer a wide variety of centres, where students can choose the subject areas that best fit in with their chosen career.
