The Study Program “Bio-Medical and Molecular Sciences in Diagnosis and Treatment of Diseases”, has been formed based on the modern scientific developments in the field of Bio-Medical and Molecular Sciences. The amount of Credit Units (ECTS) required to obtain the PDT its up to 120. For the awarding of the PDT compulsory attendance and a successful examination are required in all courses which are distributed in the first two semesters of studies (1st with 30 ECTS and 2nd semester with 30 ECTS), in the 3rd semester every student is required to carry out an internship (30 ECTS) and in the 4th semester prepares a diploma thesis (PDT) (30 ECTS) whose topic can be defined from the end of the first semester of studies. The teaching languages ​​of the program will be in English. The course schedule, teaching and research activities, practical exercises and any other kind of educational and research activities are defined as follows:

where
AC = Advisory Committee
CC=  Curriculum committee
MD = Master Director / Scientific Director
