Molecular Life Sciences
Combine chemistry, biology and medical sciences in a challenging programme. Unravel the workings of healthy and diseased cells and gain the fundamental knowledge necessary for medical innovation.
Something for you?
- Medical challenges can only be solved with a combined expertise in chemistry, biology, medical sciences, physics, and mathematics. This Bachelor's combines all these fields in a challenging programme.
- Receive excellent supervision: next to a student advisor, you can ask help from student counsellors, psychologists and career officers.
- Use unique research facilities: lasers, microscopes, genome-wide DNA technologies, high field magnets.
The Bachelor's programme of Molecular Life Sciences takes three years and prepares you for a two-year Master’s programme in Molecular Sciences or Medical Biology. The molecular foundation is laid in the first year, after which you can enhance your knowledge of the biomedical side. After a year and a half you are free to choose your own subjects. After passing your exams, you receive your degree and can call yourself a Bachelor of Science (BSc).
As a Molecular Life Sciences student, you have a full-time study week of 40 hours, in which you experience different modes of instruction. Most courses involve both lectures and tutorials, which account for about 40% of your study time. Tutorials involve about 20 students. You also spend about a quarter of your time on practicals, which includes computer practicals. Practicals are done individually, in pairs or in a group as part of a project, allowing you to work together with your student peers. The practicals are linked to the subject matter in the lectures. You are also expected to spend about a quarter of your study week on independent study.
Kastu feedback about the program after the visit
- At RU students have to really like to do research, to write and to analyze, because most of the assignments are written.
- RU has free writing classes at which students can attend if they struggle with academic writing (most of the students attends them).
- Students mostly can learn Dutch for free and get 50% discount to learn other languages like Spanish, Chinese or other 15 languages.
- Easy to find a job as a student – lots of shops, bars, restaurants. Student who gave me a tour said all his friends found a job in 2-3 months.
- Pažymių išrašas - jei dar nesi baigęs mokyklos, būtina prisegti pažymių išrašą su paskutinių trijų metų pažymiais (10, 11 ir 12 klasės pirmo pusmečio). 10 klasės vidurkių skiltis gali būti:
- papildomai įtraukta į KASTU pažymių išrašo formą;
- pateikta mokyklos ruoštame išraše;
- galima pateikti pagrindinio išsilavinimo pažymėjimą ir jo oficialų vertimą.
- Brandos atestatas – jei jau esi baigęs mokyklą, anketoje turi prisegti savo Brandos atestatą + Pažymių išrašas su 11kl. vidurkiais.
Pastaba:
- Motyvacinis laiškas yra privalomas dokumentas stojant į šio universiteto programas.
- CV - stojant į visas bakalauro programas reikia pateikti savo CV.
IELTS - 6.0 (arba 6.5, priklausomai nuo programos), iš kiekvienos dalies nemažiau 6.0
