ESB - Joint Master's Program in Evolutionary Systems Biology

education, with practical skills courses designed to complement all lectures in the core curriculum. The program also has a strong research component, with two lab rotations and a research-based Master's thesis project providing training in cutting-edge research methods. The ESB Master's program particularly features:

- Courses covering population genetics, comparative genomics, molecular evolution, EvoDevo and systems biology.
- Practical courses introducing modelling, programming, and statistical data analysis to biologists.
- An extensive research component, including rotations in multiple research groups, one-on-one training, and individual research projects.
- Special skill courses on giving scientific talks and writing successful grant proposals. An ESB Master's degree will thus provide excellent preparation for either a PhD in quantitative biological research or for research-oriented biomedical / biotechnological companies.
