Bachelor in Molecular Biology and Genetics

Molecular biology and genetics is the study of the molecular basis of life, focusing on the structure and function of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and how genetic information is inherited, expressed, and regulated. Students study cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and molecular techniques used in laboratory research, gaining hands-on experience with methods such as gene cloning, sequencing, and protein analysis. Coursework also covers topics such as developmental biology, immunology, and bioinformatics, building a foundation for understanding biological processes at the molecular level. Graduates pursue careers in research laboratories, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and diagnostic laboratories, applying molecular techniques to areas such as drug development, genetic testing, and disease research. Others continue into graduate study in molecular biology, genetics, or related life sciences, often working toward research careers in academic or industry settings. The laboratory and analytical skills developed in the program also support roles in quality control and regulatory science within biotechnology industries. This 4-year bachelor's program is offered at İnönü University in Malatya, Turkey, with instruction delivered in English. Students study molecular biology and genetics through an English-medium curriculum, engaging with international scientific literature that documents ongoing research in the field. İnönü University's science faculty provides laboratory facilities where students gain practical experience with molecular biology techniques over the course of the degree. The English-medium instruction supports graduates who plan to pursue further study or research careers in international academic or industry settings after completing the program in Malatya.
