Bachelor in Molecular Biology and Genetics

Molecular Biology and Genetics studies the biological mechanisms underlying heredity, gene expression, and cellular processes at the molecular level. Coursework typically covers cell biology, biochemistry, molecular genetics, microbiology, and genetic engineering techniques, supported by extensive laboratory work using standard molecular biology methods such as PCR, sequencing, and gene cloning. Students learn to design and carry out laboratory experiments and to interpret molecular and genetic data. Graduates commonly work in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, research laboratories, diagnostic and genetic testing services, or continue into graduate research in the life sciences. This 4 years bachelor program is offered at Avrasya University in Trabzon, Turkey, with instruction delivered in English. The program builds from general biology and chemistry foundations into specialized molecular and genetic laboratory techniques, giving graduates strong technical preparation for research-oriented and applied biotechnology careers. Trabzon provides the academic and laboratory setting for this science program within Turkey's higher education system. As biotechnology and genetic research continue to expand across healthcare, agriculture, and industry, graduates are positioned to enter research or applied laboratory roles, or to pursue further specialization through graduate study in molecular biology, genetics, or related life sciences.
