The Cyprus School of Molecular Medicine (CSMM), a School of Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics in Cyprus, has invited online application for admission to various master’s and PhD programmes in the following disciplines:
MSc Programs
MSc in Molecular Medicine (accredited)
The program promotes excellence and educates students on the significant issues in Molecular Medicine. The challenging curricula includes mandatory taught courses which cover the main aspects of Molecular Medicine and a number of elective courses enabling students to broaden their knowledge on other fields of Molecular Medicine. The MSc Research or Library Projects on various aspects of Molecular Medicine are conducted in the state-of-the-art Departments and Clinics of the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING). As an International Centre of Excellence, CING carries out pioneering research in Medical Genetics and therefore provides MSc students with the knowledge and tools to complete a competitive Research or Library Project. MSc Students have the opportunity to attend courses in innovative fields which include Molecular Basis of Monogenic Diseases, Molecular Basis of Complex Diseases, Neurosciences & Neurogenetics and Gene & Cell Therapy.
MSc in Medical Genetics (accredited)
The Medical Genetics MSc programme is aimed at clinicians and scientists who wish to gain an in depth understanding of Medical Genetics and the several applications within the wider field of Biomedical Sciences.
Students will be able to get an in depth understanding of all aspects of Medical Genetics. Clinicians will be able to use this knowledge for better management of their future patients with an inherited disease and targeting requests for diagnostic genetic testing. Scientists will be able to competently work in a research or diagnostic laboratory dealing with the multiple aspects of Medical Genetics. In addition, the programme will enable graduates to play a major role in future research programmes on Medical Genetics and Translational Medicine, both cutting-edge research topics.
MSc in Neuroscience (accredited)
The program promotes excellence and educates students on the significant issues in Neuroscience. The challenging curricula includes mandatory taught courses which cover the main aspects of Neuroscience and a number of elective courses enabling students to broaden their knowledge of other relevant fields.
