Course objective
Test of very basic knowledge in subjects of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Genetics, Microbiology and Physiology.
Remarks
In case no sufficient score is obtained, it means that the severe theoretical deficiency has to be remedied during free time (e.g. language course or bachelor subjects). This has to be done within 1 month and no other parts of MCB-track will be creditable without the subsequent re-exam.
