Molecular Biology & Genetics

The European University of Lefke, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics undergraduate program started to provide education in the 2021-2022 academic year under the roof of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Our department’s main goals are to thoroughly explore the molecular causes of diseases and to instruct students in human biology and genetics. In addition, it is planned to contribute to science by conducting training and research aimed at finding solutions to the problems caused by diseases.  Our department contributes to the understanding of diseases and thus to the improvement of public health and social life by conducting research together with other basic and medical sciences such as microbiology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, genetic engineering and cancer biology. These fields are crucial for understanding human diseases as well as public health and social welfare. The language of instruction in our department is English.

By giving our students access to education and research opportunities that meet global and European standards, the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics aims to develop educators and researchers who can analyze conceptual and experimental problems using scientific methods and engage in innovative and pioneering research. Additionally, it is among our most important goals to bring in individuals who adopt interdisciplinary approaches, have high inquisitiveness and critical skills, are proficient with new technologies, and have a sense of social and professional responsibility.
