The first semester of the Master of Science in Medical Biology consists of an introduction to human biology in its broadest sense. The courses tackle fundamental cellular functions and systems of signal transduction within and between cells, as well as normal and pathological workings of the main systems of the human organism. Furthermore, it is possible to acquire a certificate for research on animals, or to follow a module in clinical research.
In the second semester students choose a field of specialisation among the four offered by the Master: Immunology & Cancer, Neuroscience, and Pharmacology. The courses in these fields allow the students to gain resources and specific knowledge in their chosen field. Concurrently, students integrate into one of the research groups associated with the Master degree and start their personal research work (Master research project).
The third semester is dedicated to the completion of the Master research project.

Request about the Exams
With a valid medical certificate, the School of Biology considers on a case-by-case basis the specific situation of a student with a disability.
Please, request had to be sent to biologie-etudiants@unil.ch during the first 4 weeks of the semester:
Any request must be justified by the delivery of an original medical certificate. This must clearly indicate:
NB: For dyslexic and dysorthographic patients, a logopedist report may be accepted instead of the medical certificate.
The School of Biology reserves the right not to grant all or a part of the request depending on the available resources or if the application is disproportionate.
The dates of the exam sessions are in the file:
Exam schedule 2021-2022 (in french only)
Students must be available throughout the entire period of each session. The examination schedules are listed below before each session. Students are notified of the publication of the exam schedules by email.

On request students have access to marked copies of their examinations after each examination session. The student has to ask the teacher within 10 days following the exam publication.
Consulting an examination copy could serve to understand the note obtained or to set of arguments for building a case for appeal.
An appeal can only be lodged within the 33 calendar days following the electronic notification of the exam results (initial date = email announcing the publication of the results on MyUNIL, sent by the secretariat of the School of Biology).
To be accepted, an appeal must:
• Cite precise and admissible motives, such as non-compliance with the regulations, improper procedure, grievance over arbitrariness.
• Be written by the student or be accompanied by a proxy of the student if it is lodged by a third person.
Address the appeal to:
Direction de l’Ecole de biologie
Quartier UNIL-Sorge
Bâtiment Amphipôle
