Master's Programme in Experimental Medicine

The Master’s program in Experimental Medicine gives you a broad insight into general aspects that affect public health in today’s society. The main focus of the program is on inflammatory mechanisms and their implication for public health, as many of the common diseases worldwide share an inflammation process as a common denominator. You will gain knowledge and skills in modern experimental medical and laboratory science, as well as in-depth knowledge of cell biology, immunology, human genetics and bioinformatics, and translational medicine.

This MSc program is research preparatory and the Master’s degree provides you with a platform for research and development and prepares you for an international career in academia, industry, government, and healthcare.

Teaching in the Master’s program is interactive with an active dialogue between teachers and students. Your teachers are active researchers, who take their current research into the classroom. The program focuses on the application of theoretical knowledge as well as individual practical skills in order to translate theory into a contextual understanding of experimental medicine and the profile specialization of your choice. The program is offered by the School of Medical Sciences and the language of instruction is English.

During the second year of the MSc program, you select one of three profiles hosted by well-established research environments at the School of Medical Sciences: Cardiovascular Research Centre, Inflammatory Response and Infection Susceptibility Centre (iRiSC), and Nutrition-Gut-Brain Interactions Research Centre (NGBI). In addition to specific course work within your profile, you will conduct a comprehensive individual MSc degree project on a profile-specific topic of your choice.

As a student in the Master’s Programme in Experimental Medicine, you are offered a personal mentoring program. This is designed to help you progress throughout the program, in terms of defining current and future goals, prospects, and career planning.
