Courses in Biology

Biology studies life in all its forms, from molecules to ecosystems, and underpins fast-growing sectors such as biotechnology, medicine, pharmaceuticals, agriculture and the environment. Master's programmes in Biology allow graduates to specialise in applied fields, acquiring technical and methodological skills that complement university education and open the doors to the world of research and industry.

The programmes include molecular and cell biology, genetics, biotechnology, microbiology, bioinformatics, marine and environmental biology, forensic biology, biomedical analysis, immunology, regulatory affairs and laboratory quality. Lessons combine theory, laboratory activities, data analysis and research projects, with teachers from universities, research bodies, hospitals and biotechnology companies.

A master's in Biology lets you acquire skills in using advanced laboratory techniques, analysing biological data, experimental design, managing quality systems and writing scientific and regulatory documentation. You learn to work in multidisciplinary teams and to communicate results clearly, both to specialists and to a wider audience.

Career opportunities include researcher, laboratory technician, analytical biologist, bioinformatics specialist, quality manager, regulatory affairs specialist, biologist in healthcare, environmental consultant, medical sales representative and science communicator. Opportunities exist in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, analysis laboratories, hospitals, research centres, environmental agencies and agri-food companies.

The growth of biotechnology, personalised medicine and the analysis of biological big data is widening opportunities for those who can combine laboratory and computational skills.

Many master's programmes include internships and experimental theses in laboratories and companies, a decisive opportunity to test your skills and build professional contacts.

The path is suitable for graduates in biological sciences, biotechnology, pharmacy, medicine and related disciplines, and is also useful for those already working in a laboratory who want to specialise or change sector.
