If you want to register, then please use only the official registration form (click here). Only by using this official registration form it is possible to register.
Additionally, candidates are asked to participate in a written pre-test at 29th March 2012, to assess their qualification for the Master Program. Participation is not mandatory but strongly recommended and will increase (but not decrease) the chances of admission.

Only by using this official registratin form it is possible to register. "Freestyle Application" will not be considered!
Requirements:
Applicants must hold a Bachelor's degree, or equivalent degree in molecular medicine, biology, biochemistry or related fields (not medicine).
Applicants who are not native speakers of English should demonstrate adequate competence of the English language by acceptable results on an internationally recognized test (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS, APIEL, CPE). Participation in such a test is recommended but not mandatory, as language skills can also be evaluated during the personal interviews with selected candidates (see Selection and Admission). Proven higher education in English or a reasonably long stay in an English-speaking country is also acceptable.
Registration and Application Procedure:
Prior to preparing the application form, all applicants have to register online. In the online registration you will be asked to enter your personal data and information regarding your previous education. Successful online registration is confirmed by e-mail. This mail contains a registration number required for your application. The online registration is designed to accelerate the selection and admission procedure but DOES NOT substitute a signed version of all required application documents (see below), which should be sent by air mail or surface mail to the coordination office. Scanned documents submitted by e-mail cannot be accepted. The application form is delivered by a second e-mail after successful registration.
