Master’s Degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology

The Master's Degree in Cellular and Molecular Biology is offered by the University of Cagliari. The programme includes lectures, practical sessions, specialist seminars and laboratory activities and is completed by an internship and an experimental thesis supervised by expert tutors. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years, full-time and in person in Cagliari. The language is Italian and English, with two curricula. The possibility of a double degree with Taipei Medical University is indicated.

The aim is to train biologists for basic and applied research, with advanced skills in cellular and molecular phenomena, and with access to doctoral programmes and second-level masters. Career opportunities include pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, analysis laboratories and public and private bodies. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
