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.

You will have to upload an official document, including project details and signed by your supervisor, to show proof of having done an equivalent course or internship.
You must have a transcript of records from your bachelor’s program with a grade point average. If you are currently a bachelor student, you should submit a transcript of records with an ECTS credits level of at least 120 ECTS credits and a preliminary grade point average.
