Degree structure – general information
• 120 ECTS credits• Two years (annual workload is 60 ECTS credits)
Master of Science (Tech.) = M.Sc. (Tech.)
Degree structure
120 ECTS credits:
• 60 cr major dependent studies – Compulsory and optional studies

• 30 cr Elective studies
Major in Biosystems and –materialsMaster’s Degree Programme in Life Science Technologies
• The major is positioned at the interface of biology, biomaterials and drugs
• At the core of the teaching are
– the understanding of molecular and cellular level phenomena
– reprogramming of cells
– design and characterization of small pharmaceutically active
molecules
– synthesis and characterization of biomaterials
Who is offering?
The major is strongly research driven and is tightly linked to research activities at the School of Chemical Technology in the fields of
– Biotechnology (Department of Biotechnology and Chemical Technology)
– Organic chemistry (Department of Chemistry)– Polymer science and engineering (Department of
Biotechnology and Chemical Technology, Department of Forest Products Technology)
For whom
The MSc major in Biosystems and -materials gives graduates cutting edge scientific knowledge and skills enabling the students
– to integrate into the international life science technologies job market
– or to pursue doctoral studies in specialist fields
