For the Thesis Master’s in EMA, students will be trained, with the help of their supervisors, to perform a literature review, identify important is-sues in a specific field and understand the scientific approach to re-search questions in EMA, carry out a scientific study and appropriately managing the obtained data. Also, students will be trained to appreciate the ethics involved in Biology/Biotechnology research, and to express themselves clearly in science (when speaking and writing). The stu-dents will be trained and encouraged to prepare their work for publica-tion in high impact scientific journals. The student will be guided to submit a research thesis not exceeding 60,000 words, including tables, figures, and footnotes, and present an appropriate defense in an oral examination.
