New Master program Functional genetics and bioinformatics

The new 2-year Master's study program Functional genetics and bioinformatics was created to increase the career prospects of our graduates by implementing rapidly developing new technologies.

The study programme is taught in English and offers four different specializations:

Bioinformatics

Biotechnology

Human molecular genetics

Molecular cell biology and genetic
