Undergraduate Programs
The Bachelor of Science degree program in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (BS MBB) provides a well-rounded undergraduate education that is particularly suited to future careers in research and teaching, in both academic and industrial settings.
Undergraduate Admission
The BS MBB program currently admits 40 students per year, taken from the top qualifiers in the University of the Philippines College Admission Test (UPCAT).
Admission Policies for Shiftees and Transfer Students
The Institute accepts students into the undergraduate program during the first semester only (deadline for filing of application: April 30). As BS MBB is a quota course, the number of students that can be admitted into the program is dependent on the number of available slots.
Requirements for Transfer Students or Shiftees within the UP System
a) cumulative weighted average of grades = 1.75 or better
b) has taken at least 15 units of a combination of Math, Physics,
Chemistry, NatSci with a weighted average of 1.80 or better.
Requirements for Transfer Students from outside the UP System
a) cumulative weighted average of grades = 1.50 or better
b) has taken at least 15 units of a combination of Math, Physics,
Chemistry, NatSci with a weighted average of 1.80 or better.
Graduate Programs
Master of Science in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (MS MBB)
The program aims to provide an excellent graduate education that will prepare students for molecular biology careers in the academe, as well as in the industrial, biomedical and environmental fields.
