• The student must choose one of the following three courses: (a scelta): Biomembranes 6 CFU; Molecular pharmacology and immunology 6 CFU; Organelle biology and medicine 6 CFU; Stem cells and genetic diseases 6 CFU
• The student must choose one of the following four courses: (a scelta): Biostatistics 6 CFU; Methods in biochemical investigation 6 CFU; Signal transduction 6 CFU; Synthetic biology 6 CFU
• The student must acquire 6 additional ECTS of soft skills offered through individual courses worth 6 ECTS, or, for international students who choose to earn the 3 ECTS in Italian Language Proficiency, one course worth 3 ECTS from those listed on the webpage - https://mbc.cdl.unimi.it/en/courses/soft-skills. (scegli 6 CFU): Additional language skills: italian (3 ECTS) 3 CFU; Soft skills (3 ECTS) 3 CFU; Soft skills (6 ECTS) 6 CFU
• The student must acquire 12 ECTS by selecting any of the courses offered by the University of Milan, provided that they are coherent with MBC topics and that the course content does not overlap with those present in mandatory and guided-choice courses. Obviously, as open choice courses, the student can pick the remaining guided-choice courses that he/she had not inserted in the study plan. MBC recommends to select elective courses with a specific focus on bioinformatics and biostatistics. If unavailable in English, open-choice courses can be taken in Italian provided that the student is fluent in Italian language. (scegli 12 CFU):
