Learning through science and experience
The study plan covers plant genomics, agricultural biotechnology, computational biology and plant–environment interactions. It includes a 12-ECTS external placement and a separate 12-ECTS dissertation, giving students both workplace or laboratory experience and an individual research project.
This combination may appeal if you enjoy asking how living systems work and want to test ideas with evidence. Before choosing a project, think about whether your interests lie in crop improvement, environmental responses, molecular mechanisms or biological data.
Aplicarea
UAB lists relevant backgrounds including biology, biotechnology, genetics, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacy and agricultural or related engineering.
