(One and a half academic year, fulltime study)
Admission requirements
Completed Bachelor of Science degree
in biology and other related sciences
Educational and professional
goals
To provide a profound knowledge in
the area of Histology and Development
Biology.
Successfully graduated students
will obtain knowledge and skills in
applying contemporary methods used
