About this program
What this degree covers and what you can expect from the university.
This full‑time English‑taught Master of Biological Science programme belongs to the School of Life Sciences of Yunnan University. Relying on Yunnan’s abundant animal and plant germplasm resources, this programme mainly involves molecular biology, cell biology, microbiology, plant and animal resource research, genetic diversity and biological adaptation mechanisms under plateau environment. The curriculum combines theoretical knowledge teaching, molecular‑biology laboratory operation, specimen sorting and wild biological resource field surveys. Every enrolled international student will be assigned a professional academic supervisor, who provides whole‑cycle guidance including course selection, research topic confirmation, experimental scheme design and postgraduate dissertation writing. Students need to complete all required course credits, carry out biological‑related experimental or field research tasks, conduct independent scientific exploration and pass thesis defence for degree conferral. International applicants meeting relevant criteria are allowed to apply for multiple scholarship projects funded by national government, Yunnan provincial authority and Yunnan University.
