Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master's in Biomedical Research (BIOMED) is a program recognized with the highest valuation by the quality agencies of our university system. This master's degree focuses on the study of the molecular, cellular, physiological, and evolutionary bases of biological processes and their pathological or adaptive alterations, primarily aimed at students who wish to pursue a doctorate in various fields of biomedicine.

Key Characteristics

• The Master's in Biomedical Research is taught entirely in English.
• The master's project has a duration of 6 months full-time, from early January to late June, without interference from classes.

Target Audience

The typical profile is that of a graduate in biology, biochemistry, or biotechnology, but students from medicine, chemistry, engineering, pharmacy, or nursing have also successfully completed the master's. A good foundation and/or ability to understand and handle concepts of cellular function and molecular interactions (proteins, nucleic acids) is required. It is recommended that graduates from non-biological science and health areas who are interested in this master's consult the programs of the subjects.
