Master description

Students of Chemistry, Pharmacy, Biomedical Engineering and Medicine may need to take and pass some bridging courses. 

The bridging courses are not part of the Master's Degree and must have been passed before starting it, since students must have previous studies in the field of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Protein Chemistry, in order to follow the Master's Degree course. 

The Master's Degree Committee will analyse the previous studies and will establish whether or not it is necessary to take bridging courses.
