No, in this case you do not need to take an English test, but we do require proof that your undergrade study (Bachelor's degree programme) was taught and completed exclusively in English.

Yes, please do apply! However, your previous study programme should be out of the following fields of studies: biomedical science, molecular biotechnology, molecular biology, molecular life science, human biology, biochemistry. The selection committee will check what degree programme you studied and decide whether you are eligible for the master programme.

• Bachelor's degree diploma and Bachelor's degree certificate with final grade
• Transcript of Records (ToR) with credit points and final grade of the Bachelor’s degree, Diploma Supplement if available

Based on this, you can receive conditional admission and submit the final certificate by the enrollment deadline.
• In the case of a foreign university degree, upload a grading scale of the degree programme with the indication of the lowest passing grade and the maximum grade awarded for the university degree. Sometimes this grading scale is already included in the Transcript of Records; in this case, upload the Transcript of Records again in the online application.
• Proof of English language proficiency at level C1: Applicants who can demonstrate that their native language is English or that their Bachelor's degree was taught exclusively in English do not need a test.

The selections interviews will take place online via Zoom at the end of June/end of July.

The selection interview consists of a set of questions on the basic knowledge of Molecular Medicine as well as questions about your motivation and the content of your Bachelor's thesis. The basic knowledge may include questions from virology, human genetics, anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry.

Applicants will be informed during the summer months (June – August). The exact timing varies each year.

Administrative fees (or semester fees) of around €180 per semester are charged for all students. This amount fluctuates by a few euros each semester. International students who are not EU citizens must pay tuition fees of €1500 per semester.
