Bachelor in Molecular Biology and Genetics

Molecular Biology and Genetics focuses on understanding heredity, gene expression, and the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes. Students typically study cell biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and genetics, along with laboratory-based courses in techniques such as PCR, gene cloning, and protein analysis. The field draws on foundational coursework in chemistry and general biology before moving into more specialized molecular and genetic topics, and many programs require a capstone research project supervised by faculty. Career paths include roles in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, clinical diagnostic laboratories, academic research, and further graduate study in genetics, molecular biology, or related life science disciplines. This bachelor program is 4 years long and is delivered in English at Acıbadem Mehmet Ali Aydınlar University in İstanbul, Turkey. Located in İstanbul, the university sits within a broader network of hospitals, research centers, and life-science industry activity relevant to this field of study. English-medium instruction is intended to support students who plan to pursue international careers or further academic training after completing the degree.
