Pre-Masters programme
In some cases, when your education background does not grant you direct admission to the Master's programme in Medical Biology, you can be admitted to a pre-Master's programme.
A pre-Master's programme is especially designed to bridge the gap between your prior education and our Master's in Medical Biology. The content and duration of these pre-Master’s are determined and constructed per individual student. The pre-Master’s programme in Medical Biology is available in English.
