At RUC, Molecular Biology can be studied at both the Bachelor and Master level. As for most of the other study subjects at RUC, it is required that Molecular Biology is studied in combination with another subject (e.g., Chemistry, Environmental Biology, Computer Science, etc.). 

To study Molecular Biology at the bachelor level, students usually enter the Bachelor Study Programme in Natural Science. During your course studies, you will acquire a broad knowledge of the central theories, methods and key terms within cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics. You will also write a project in Molecular Biology. Your bachelor project, that completes the project work in the bachelor studies, can also be within the field of Molecular Biology, or concern a problem where you use skills and knowledge from both molecular biology and your second subject. 

In the Master Study Programme you can choose between two main profiles: 

The Molecular Cell Biology profile provides a deeper insight into cell biology, molecular biology and cell physiology. In this programme, the compulsory courses are the theoretical course Eukaryotic Cell Biology and Experimental Biotechnology, where you learn to plan and carry out experiments in molecular genetics and protein science. Through your elective courses, you can concentrate on further studies of cell biology and cell physiology or you can chose a broader profile that also includes e.g. bioinformatics or microbiology.  

The Bioinformatics profile gives you the opportunity to go in depth with bioinformatics in combination with cell biology. You follow the course Eukaryotic Cell Biology and a comprehensive course in Bioinformatics where you are trained in understanding and solving problems in Bioinformatics using the different available computer programmes and databases. The course programme in this profile is completed with a few elective courses.

Both profiles contain 30 ECTS project work in addition to the 30 ECTS from courses. Most students in Molecular Biology choose to carry out a 60 ECTS experimental master thesis project where the two subjects are combined. 
The elective courses for both profiles include Advanced Eukaryotic Cell Biology, Experimental Cell Biology, Human- and Animal Physiology, Bacterial Physiology, Medical Microbiology and some other smaller courses.
