Genetics Master's in Norway

Norway is a paradise for anyone who wants to study abroad for free. Public universities don’t charge any tuition fees. This policy applies to all international students, regardless of their nationality. The academic standard is very high, and professors are easy to approach, always willing to go the extra mile for their students. Additionally, classes are organised in small groups, which further improves learning and cooperation. You can choose from a wide range of English-taught programmes, and you don’t need to worry about language barriers outside of classes either, because most Norwegians speak English as a second language. Internationals should find it easy to adapt to Norway’s society, which is based on equality and fair opportunities — reflected both in the legal system and in people’s behaviour.

Genetics degrees teach students topics related to heredity, from passing on the genetic information of the parents to the offspring, to the study of genetic diseases and disorders. By learning advanced Organic Chemistry, Biology and Physics, including classes on cell biology, genomics, bioinformatics and genetic modelling, students go on to develop effective drugs, sustainable agriculture and learn to identify and treat genetic diseases, such as cancer.
