Welcome to Master of Biomedical Sciences
We are happy that you have chosen our master of Biomedical Sciences. Below you find all important informations about BMSc.
For question about the study, please contact biomedical.sciences.pyl@unibe.ch
Introduction
The Master program in Biomedical Sciences has a duration of one-and-a-half years. The mandatory core component supplements the initial knowledge of the pathophysiology of organ systems that is acquired in the third year of the Bachelor program in Fribourg. This core component also expands students' expertise in modern methods of research. Students also conduct a three-week laboratory internship that focuses on a research field of their choice. During the final six months of their studies, students write a master thesis on a research topic of their choice. More information about the study please find here.

Elective Modules
Purpose: It is the goal of the elective modules to give the students the opportunity to get acquainted with scientific topics of interest, to learn new experimental techniques and to indulge in daily lab routines. If feasible, students get the opportunity to work on a small project on their own. Apart from offering students deeper insights into preferred fields of research, elective modules ideally also serve as an entry point towards the master thesis.
Dates:
Slot 1: 12.02. - 01.03.2024
Slot 2: 04.03. – 22.03.2024

Alumni Award
Alumni Biomedical Sciences will award a prize for the best master thesis 2020. In a first step, a committee will judge the anonymized abstracts based on clarity, writing, and scientific content. Second, the full master thesis of some students will be read and judged. Judging criterias will be rather based on scientific writing and methodology than on the project itself. The prize of SFr. 500.- will be handed over to the winner at the official diploma ceremony in March. To be eligible for the prize, please send the abstract of your master thesis before 13.01.22 to study coordinator. Alumni Biomedical Sciences wishes you good luck with your experiments and all the best for your master thesis.

Alumni Biomedical Sciences
The “Alumni Biomedical Sciences” form an association of former MSc of Science in Biomedical Sciences students, their professors form the Universities of Bern and Fribourg as well as of different partners from in industry and academics. It’s our goal to form not only a platform for pleasurable reunions, but also to keep in touch concerning professional duties. We want to build up networks within the association and towards potential employers. Therefore we are sustaining an Internet page with information about possible working places, links to our partners from the industry and academics and information about events such as careers days.
