Seminars
Students must attend at least 25 seminars, of which 80% must be within the Department of Human Molecular Genetics and Biochemistry. The student will keep a record of the lectures and submit a signed form to the Secretariat confirming participation. This form is a requirement for graduation.
If a student attends a scientific conference, it is equivalent to two seminars. Please note that a student will not get approval for more than two conferences.
Thesis
Students must submit a research proposal for their thesis by the end of the second semester. The thesis will be submitted by the end of the fourth semester. Students must present their thesis topic within the Department or at a scientific conference. Their advisor must approve their thesis as a condition for completion of the master's degree.
