The purpose of our MSc is to give students a comprehensive picture of Bio-medical and molecular science applications and to link their professional training with the labor market. The implementation of the program includes three training semesters with a homogeneous and equal distribution of their educational content: a) Series of theoretical courses and seminars, b) Cycle of practical training and practice and c) Training in research thinking and practice in the development and application of molecular techniques. Additionally, the utmost importance is the acquisition of critical and research skills, with the ultimate goal of the ability to successfully produce a high-level Master Thesis. The program will accede up to fifty (50) students. In our MSc are accepted graduates of Departments in Medicine, Dentistry, Biomedical Science, Pharmacy, Biology, Agriculture, Chemistry, Physics, Nursing, Veterinary Medicine, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Mathematics, Engineering, Polytechnic Schools, Economics and Management Sciences, Informatics, Social and Humanities, Physical Education Sciences, Nutrition, Aesthetics-Cosmetology and other Universities of the country and recognized foreign equivalent institutions, as well as graduates of TEI Departments of Medical Laboratory Technologies, but also of other Departments of a related subject. Also, graduates of other Departments of AEI, TEI or other Higher Schools can also be admitted, after a decision of the Program Study Committee (PSC).
