Testimonial:
„This program has been more than a master’s degree for me – it has been an academic journey full of challenge and discovery. If you have a passion for science and a bit of resilience to stress, I highly recommend it! As a bonus, you’ll be able to brag that you’re working on super-sophisticated research that even your friends from other faculties won’t understand exactly what you’re doing!”
Roxana Cristian, graduate generation 2017-2019
„When I entered this master, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. Now I can say it was one of the best decisions! I have learned a lot, done fascinating experiments and developed my career in a way I never anticipated.”
Bianca Balasea-Voicu, 2020-2022 generation graduate
„The MSc gave me exactly what I needed: the opportunity to learn fascinating things, great people to share my enthusiasm with and, of course, many hours in the lab! It was intense but also incredibly rewarding. Plus, I got to impress my friends with complex scientific terms at parties! It was totally worth it!”
