MSc Degree Programs

The A. I. Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences (AIVI) has two international MSc Degree Programs:

  • Molecular Medicine and Biotechnology

  • Neurobiology

Education in both 2-year programs is extensively research-orientated. The core curricula consist of the most recent advances of the corresponding fields of science. In addition, the students will get true hands-on research experience by accomplishing exciting projects - the topics of which may be chosen according to one’s own interest from comprehensive offerings. All teaching in both 120 ECTS-credit programs is given in English.

MSc-graduates of both programs will

  • have solid knowledge of the specific scientific field
  • be familiar with a variety of modern methods
  • be competent in planning a research project
  • be skilled in scientific presentation - both oral and written
  • likely continue for PhD-education and training, or will be experts sought-after by the international biobusiness and pharmaceutical industry

Education in the MSc programs is for students who have already accomplished the BSc degree. The next intake will be in 2011.

Higher education is tuition-free in Finland.
