This bachelor's program in Molecular Biology and Genetics is offered by İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, a private university in Ankara, Turkey, and runs over a duration of 4 years, taught in English. Molecular Biology and Genetics examines the structure and function of genes, cells, and biological molecules, with coursework in genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, and molecular genetics supported by extensive laboratory training in molecular techniques. Students learn methods used in gene analysis, protein studies, and experimental design, building skills applicable to research and biotechnology settings, including techniques such as gel electrophoresis, PCR, and cell culture. Coursework also covers developmental biology, immunology, and bioinformatics, giving students a broad view of how molecular processes connect to whole-organism biology. Laboratory-based coursework and, in many programs, independent research projects give students direct experience with experimental science. Graduates work in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, healthcare-related fields, and diagnostic laboratories, or pursue further study in the life sciences. At İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, students in this program follow the standard structure of a 4-year undergraduate degree, combining foundational coursework in the first years with more specialized study later in the program, and typically complete a capstone or graduation project before finishing the degree. Being based in Ankara gives students access to the city's academic institutions, industry, and professional networks alongside their coursework, which can support internships and early career connections in the local job market.
