The Department of Biology of the University of Crete organizes and operates from the academic year 2024-2025 a Postgraduate Studies Programme (MSc) entitled “GREEN BIOLOGY – Biology of Plant Organisms from the Molecule to the Environment”.
The aim of the MSc is to promote knowledge and research in the cutting-edge areas of the Structure and Function of Plant Biology, such as Plant Molecular Biology, Plant Molecular Genetics, Plant Biochemistry, Bioenergetics, Plant Developmental Biology, Plant Molecular Physiology and Plant Molecular Pathology as well as their Biotechnological and Environmental Applications.
Admission categories
Holders of a Bachelor’s degree of higher education institutions in Greece or recognized institutions of foreign countries from university departments of Biology, Biochemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Chemistry, Physics, etc.
Postgraduate studies usually begin in the winter semester. The duration of the MSc leading to the award of a Master’s degree is two (2) semesters and does not exceed four (4) semesters (60 ECTS).
The teaching of the courses of the MSc takes place in person.
No tuition fees are provided.
