Newsroom

This new official postgraduate degree is aimed at a very eclectic profile because it can be taken by students from various degrees associated with the areas of knowledge of Science and Engineering. In this way, graduates with degrees in Chemistry, Pharmacy, Biology, Health Biology, Biochemistry, and Biotechnology or those from Experimental Sciences and Chemical, Biomedical, and Physics Engineering, among others, will be able to continue their studies in this master's degree.

The master's degree addresses the most advanced and cutting-edge techniques and technologies with an experimental and practical dimension that helps its students develop competencies and skills in scientific research. The coordination of six universities will allow the creation of a School of Analytical and Bioanalytical Sciences and Technologies where transversal aspects that must be received by graduates who want to dedicate their professional future to research will be addressed.

The training itinerary of this degree includes 11 subjects, seven of them compulsory and another four optional, two of which must be chosen by the students to complete their studies. The electives are presented with the names of Analysis of biomolecules and omics technologies; Biofabrication and micro/nano sensorization; Advanced sample preparation techniques; and Nanomaterials and bioanalysis.

Both the compulsory and the optional courses have a load of six credits, with the exception of the Master's Thesis (mandatory) which has an indefinite duration and is presented with 12 credits. The duration of the master's degree is one academic year with afternoon shifts in the first semester and full-time shifts in the second.
