Molecular Biology is the study of life’s fundamental building blocks. The Bachelor’s degree program in Molecular BioSciences at the JKU gives students an opportunity to acquire a new perspective of general biology, molecular genetics, chemistry, physics, and biophysics. Throughout the program, students benefit from the expertise provided by faculty members at both the Johannes Kepler University of Linz and the University of Salzburg. The interdisciplinary program includes a wide scope of required subjects and the hands-on aspects make the program particularly attractive!
