Cycle I (Bachelor’s degree)

General field of study -   42 Natural Sciences
Field of professional training - 421 Biology
Specialty – 421.2 Molecular Biology
Total number of credits – 180
Obtained title – Bachelor of Natural Sciences

The Molecular Biology specialty includes modules that provide general education (botany, zoology, organic and inorganic chemistry, human anatomy and physiology, cell biology, biotechnology, etc.) and specialty education (genetic methods of analysis, population genetics, microorganism genetics and genetic engineering, molecular biology, genetically modified animals) designed to develop systemic competencies applicable to both the field and social life of graduates. The elective disciplines offer students the opportunity to select one of the routes of individual specialization, for example, biotechnology (genetically modified organisms, microorganism genetics, chemistry, macromolecular compounds, etc.) or molecular and cellular biology (individual developmental biology, molecular biology, cytology, immunology, etc.).

Specialitatea – 421.1 Biology
Total number of credits – 180
strong>Obtained title – Bachelor of Natural Sciences

The Biology specialty is interdisciplinary and assures the training of qualified specialists with a broad theoretical and practical vision of biological processes. The training program offers a qualification system under which graduates will possess profound knowledge in the field of biology obtained from foundation courses (botany, zoology, organic and inorganic chemistry, human anatomy and physiology, ecology and environmental protection, mycology, ecotoxicology, etc.) and specialized courses (biophysics, biochemistry, microbiology and virology, plant physiology, genetics and breeding, hydrobiology) that assure the professional component. The elective specialty disciplines offer students the opportunity to select one of the routes of individual specialization, for example, human and animal biology (animal developmental biology, genetically modified animals, livestock breeding, entomology, etc.) and plant biology (plant developmental biology, genetically modified crops, phytotechnology, phytopathology, etc.).

Cycle II (Master’s degree)

General field of study -   42 Natural Sciences
Master’s Program in Research (MR) – Molecular Biology
Total number of credits – 120
Obtained title - Master of Natural Sciences

The Master’s program in Molecular Biology integrates the information obtained from various levels of living matter organization, revealing the dynamics and performance of contemporary biology and provides for the deepening of knowledge in biology, the bases of which were founded in cycle I, being particularly focused on the detailed study of vital processes at molecular level by modern analytical techniques. The Master’s programs include foundation disciplines: proteomics, molecular genetics, research and technological development, metabolic biochemistry; specialized disciplines: bioinformatics, molecular phylogeny, genetic animal reproductive genetics, enzymology, signal transduction; and elective disciplines: plant and animal transgenesis, apoptosis, advanced techniques in molecular biology, symbiogenetics, immunogenetics, etc.
