Molecular Biology

In the master programme, you receive a thorough grounding in the core theories of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics and microbiology. You will work with such things as the properties and interaction of macromolecules, and the function of genes.

You will learn to collect, analyse and evaluate bio-molecular data and to develop your skills in oral and written presentation. There will be plenty of opportunity to specialise.

You can choose between two main areas: molecular cell biology and bioinformatics.

A large part of the teaching takes place in the laboratory, where you perform exercises and do project work. There will also be lectures and teaching in classrooms.

Semester Start

An academic year is made up of two semesters, which begin around September 1st and February 1st.

You can study Molecular Biology in Roskilde.

Roskilde University

At Roskilde University Molecular Biology can be studied for 1 year (60 ECTS) as part of a 2-year MSc programme.

You also have the possibility of taking single courses or subjects within the programme.

The programme can be studied for 6 months (30 ECTS) as part of a 3 year bachelor.
