Student are required to take a concentration of courses totaling 12 credits, depending on the major.
Compulsory courses for all majors:
Course No. 81-900 - "New horizons in molecular and cellular biology", semester course - 1 hr.
Course No. 81-901- "Research methods and the principles of using scientific equipment and technology", annual course - 2 hr.
Course No. 81-933-01, Scientific Writing - 1 hr.
Course No. 81-927-01, Ethical Issues in Scientific Research - 1 hr.
From the cluster of courses in each major, two seminars are compulsory, each worth 0.5 hours, as well as about 6 elective courses (6 hours) in each major.
Student may choose up to 2 elective courses (2 credits) from another major.
In addition, students must take basic courses (4 hours) - for those who have not previously studied at Bar-Ilan University.
The courses for master's degree students within the majors are taken according to the direction of the supervisors in the areas of specialization of the students in the research work, from the list of graduate courses.
Students are also required to sign up for the Faculty Colloquium" (lectures on research topics), Course No. 81-898.
The students who will be working in the laboratory with animals are required, before starting their work in the laboratory, to register for an online course through the University Ethics Committee.
- At the end of the first year, the student will submit to the faculty committee for research students, a proposal for a plan for the research work after it has been approved by the supervisor.
- After the proposal is approved by the faculty committee, it will be submitted to the university committee for research students for final approval.
- After the research is finished and after the supervisor's approval, the written thesis will be submitted to the faculty committee for research students for the purpose of determining examiners and a test date.
- The examination committee will include 2 examiners and a supervisor. The students will present the main points of their findings in a presentation and answer the examiners' questions.
Students will receive a living stipend and full exemption from tuition. For more information contact us.
