Overview

Biomedical Research at Pompeu Fabra University helps students acquire advanced conceptual and experimental knowledge of the molecular and cellular foundations for cellular processes and dysfunctions involved in physiological function and disease and to teach them to apply this knowledge to basic and biomedical research.

Who is it for?

Candidates will typically hold an undergraduate degree in:

• biology

• biochemistry

• biotechnology. 

However, students with undergraduate degrees in medicine, chemistry, engineering, pharmacy and nursing have also successfully completed the programme. Students must have a solid grounding in and/or ability to grasp and work with the concepts of cell function and molecular interactions (proteins, nucleic acids).

Career prospects:

The primary aim of this master's programme is to serve as a starting point for a doctoral thesis. Most of the students who complete the master's degree (more than 80%) continue on to the doctoral programme.
