Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in biology or a related subject, e.g. bioinformatics, (bio)chemistry, (bio)physics, biotechnology.
Your bachelor's curriculum degree must include a final research project with a written thesis credited with at least 10 ECTS credits. If your bachelor's program does not require a thesis, you are still eligible to apply if you have completed or will complete an equivalent course or internship.
