Why choose to study Research master in biomedical sciences?

The Research Master’s in Biomedical Sciences is a programme delivered entirely in English, designed for graduates who want more than a degree—they want to understand disease mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level and produce original knowledge in the laboratory.

All courses, seminars, and research activities are conducted in English. The degree you earn opens access to PhD programmes and research positions at universities and institutes worldwide.

The programme prepares two clear profiles: the academic researcher—who continues with a PhD in Biology, Medicine, or related fields—and the biomedical laboratory specialist—who works in universities, research institutes, hospitals, or the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

Courses cover the current frontiers of cell biology, genomics and transcriptomics, molecular neurobiology, and molecular pathology. The practical component—microscopy techniques, cell cultures, experimental animal models, in vivo imaging—is an integral part of each year of study, not a separate module.

Why choose to study this specialisation at UVVG?

  • English-only teaching—degree compatible with international PhD programmes and research positions

  • Biomedical laboratory with equipment for microscopy techniques, cell cultures, and in vivo imaging

  • Small groups—direct access to research mentors, supervision throughout the dissertation thesis

  • Academic staff with active research activity—teaching from their own laboratory work

  • A natural pathway to a PhD—in Biology, Medicine, or related biomedical fields, in Romania or abroad

  • Access to Erasmus+ mobility—research placements and exchange of experience in partner European institutions

  • 50 places available in the Biology field—competitive admission, a cohesive master’s student community

Where can you work after graduation?
