The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering is part of ETH Zurich and located in Basel. AT D-BSSE, biologists, computational scientists and engineers work together in an interdisciplinary team in order to conduct comprehensive analysis of complex processes in cells and organisms. They develop sophisticated strategies and techniques for the programming and rational design of cell functions, and implement these in complex biological systems. D-BSSE research is driven by open scientific questions and unmet societal needs in biotechnology and life sciences. Find more information: www.bsse.ethz.ch.
How competitive is this course int erm of admission? Im currently finishing a swiss bachelors in biology, my marks the first two years were rather mediocre because I had no goal (4.5) I changed it up and am now finishing a semester with 5.5. But since the admission application is in april, I cant even do all the courses that would increase my average.
Thanks for your interest in the CBB programme, John! Please check this page out for admission and application (cbb.ethz.ch/prospective-students/applications-admission.html) and for questions approach the Student administration (cbb.ethz.ch/current-students/student-administration.html). All the very best, we are looking forward to welcoming you at the D-BSSE!
too many requirements for a stupidly short deadline of april 31, it's like I would have had to finish my bachelors a full year before to be able to apply with the required documents, either that or I shouldve had a stellear first year then I could've applied wwith what I had after 2 years. But april 31, that means the marks of an entire year arent there yet... Im in a similar Master at a different uni now, and I'm freaking loving it so far, we learned unix R and python basics so far and are starting with the bioinfo stuff like the different omics etc.
Thank you for your interest in our MSc Biotechnology programme! There is a possibility to apply for a merit-based scholarship when applying to this program (ESOP).
