Bachelor in Molecular Biology and Genetics

Molecular Biology and Genetics examines how genetic information is stored, expressed, and inherited, and how molecular processes govern the function of living cells. Coursework typically spans general and organic chemistry, cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, genetics, molecular biology techniques, bioinformatics, and immunology, with laboratory work central to building practical skills in areas such as DNA sequencing, protein analysis, and cell culture. Students learn to design experiments, interpret molecular data, and apply techniques used in research and diagnostic settings. The field connects to biotechnology, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, forensic science, and medicine, giving graduates a foundation that can lead toward laboratory research, graduate study, roles in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, genetic counseling support, or further specialization in areas like genomics and molecular medicine. This 4 years bachelor's program is delivered in English at Biruni University in İstanbul, Turkey. Studying in an English-medium program in Turkey gives international students access to instruction taught to global academic standards while based in a rapidly developing higher education market. İstanbul offers students exposure to a large, culturally diverse urban environment alongside opportunities to engage with the country's growing life sciences and biotechnology sector. Over the course of the program, students progress from foundational science courses into more specialized molecular biology and genetics content, often supported by laboratory sessions, seminars, and coursework that build toward independent research or project work in the final years of study.
