Official Master's Degree in Cytogenetics and Reproductive Biology

Study guides

Master description

The curriculum presented corresponds to a specialised master’s degree offering two areas of specialisation: Cytogenetics and Reproductive Biology. The programme comprises a total of 60 ECTS credits, organised over two semesters and combining both theoretical and practical components. Both specialisations share a number of compulsory subjects, including New Developments in Cytogenetics and Reproductive Biology, Scientific Data Analysis and Presentation, and Case Studies in Cytogenetics and Reproductive Biology, as well as the cross-disciplinary subject Research Methodology and the Master’s Dissertation. Each specialisation also includes subjects specific to its particular field. The Cytogenetics specialisation covers areas such as clinical cytogenetics, comparative genomics, cancer and radiobiology, with an integrated laboratory component. The Reproductive Biology specialisation focuses on technologies applied to reproduction, developmental processes, totipotency and differentiation, as well as the corresponding integrated laboratory component. Both specialisations provide a solid foundation in research and clinical applications, preparing students for professional and academic careers in fields related to genetics, assisted reproduction, and biomedical diagnosis.
