Programme profile
The Master's Programme in Medical Biology is a scientific programme focusing on medical themes and issues. The program is administered by the Department of Biomedicine and includes three specializations:
Medical Cell Biology: A medically focused, comprehensive study of cell biology and molecular biology.
Human Physiology: A wide-ranged, yet integrated study of human physiology, with emphasis on cardiovascular physiology, neurophysiology and cell physiology.
Biomedical Image Sciences: An interdisciplinary study of quantitative analysis within the field of visualizing biological/medical images.
*******************************************************************************************
Who may apply?
The specializations Biomedical Image Sciences and Medical Cell Biology are also offered to international students, with courses and curriculum in English. Self-financing degree students may apply.
Applicants for the Quota Scheme with education from Makerere University, Uganda, can apply for the specialization in Medical Cell Biology.
Start-up Date: Each August
