Stages and Thesis
Students enrolled in the Master Program in Molecular Biotechnology have to do a 150-hour internship each year, Stage I (6 ECTS) and Stage II (6 ECTS) respectively. Moreover, students have to prepare an experimental thesis by working in a laboratory. The credits obtained by the preparation of the thesis are recognized as Thesis I (5 ECTS, 1st year) and Thesis II (14 ECTS, 2nd year). The thesis can be prepared by working in the same laboratory where the student does the internship or in a different one.
Internship as well as the preparation of the experimental thesis can be done in laboratories belonging to University Departments or to public/private institutions that have an agreement with the University of Torino.
Before starting the laboratory work, students must complete the administrative procedure.
