Program Structure and Timing

MISB will run during 4 academic semesters, starting in October until July of the second year. It comprises 120 ECTS credits, organized in 4 academic modules (90 ECTS) and a master research project TFM (30 ECTS). MISB will enroll 10-20 students per promotion, to optimize the training process. MISB will adopt an innovative format in which the students will progress rapidly from intensive course instruction to extensive lab rotations and research (TFM) activities. Most of MISB activities will be in English.
