Molecular Biology and Genetics

Bachelor's

The Undergraduate Study Program has been designed according to international standards and is updated every five years. During the first two years of study, students become familiar with the basic concepts and principles of Molecular Biosciences, as well as with modern methods and techniques. In the third and fourth years, students deepen their knowledge in Molecular Biology, Genetics, and their applications in various fields. Through elective courses offered from the fourth semester onwards, students are introduced to contemporary and emerging trends in specialized areas of Molecular Biology and Genetics. During the final semester, students who wish have the opportunity to conduct an original experimental research thesis, either at the University or in research institutions. Graduates of the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics are employed in research institutes, hospitals and other health-related organizations, in industry (such as the pharmaceutical and food industries), and in education. Many graduates continue their studies in Greece and abroad, often supported by competitive scholarships.
