The quantitative approach requires physical understanding of biological phenomena and the development of mathematical and computational tools for the analysis, understanding and redesigning of biological systems. The aim is to train a new generation of experts with integrated skills in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science, able to perform accurate experimental measurements and apply predictive theoretical models to explain biological complexity.
Quantitative biology uses emerging technological and computational capabilities to model biological processes for biotechnological applications such as protein and metabolic engineering, drug discovery and synthetic biology. It is therefore proposed a path that includes training activities aimed at acquiring in-depth knowledge of:
biochemical and biophysical aspects of cellular processes and molecular interactions;
experimental methodologies for the study and measurement of these processes;
analytical techniques and protocols used in structural biology and molecular and cellular biophysics studies;
technical bases of modelling in systems biology for the study of interactions in complex biological systems;
linear algebra, matrix calculus and its use in the description of dynamic biological phenomena and to understand the basis of artificial intelligence (machine learning);
Python programming language and its use for statistical data analysis;
formal logic elements
The Master's degree in Quantitative Biology provides employment opportunities in research institutes and in the industry in the
areas of bio-nano-technologies, bio-pharmaceutical research, and in the development of high-tech research instrumentation.

Tuition fees
The University of Milan is a public institution. Therefore, the university offers lower tuition fees in proportion to income, with fees being curbed in order to guarantee, to the greatest possible extent, the right for every student to have the opportunity to study.
For international students, enrolment fees vary according to the student’s citizenship and can vary between €156 to maximum of €1,156 each academic year.
The University of Milan also offers scholarships and other special funding, such as refectory and accommodation services. Enrolled students can apply for a scholarship, depending on whether they’re based on merit, income or both.
The Excellence Scholarships program is particularly aimed at international students. The program offers 100 incentive grants to the newly enrolled best international students at master’s level. The incentives include 50 scholarships of €6,000 plus enrollment fee exemption.
To find out more about special funding and scholarships, visit the university’s website.
Entry requirements
Almost all bachelor's and single cycle degree programs require candidates sit an admission test to ensure they are eligible for their chosen course of study. Each year, between February and July, the University of Milan publishes its calls to apply for admission to bachelor’s degree programs. These calls for application report the procedure for enrolment (matriculation) on the first year of studies, as well as:
Admission requirements,
Dates, programs, procedures and locations for evaluation tests and entrance examinations,
Number of places available for programs with limited enrolment,
Instructions for candidates with disabilities or SLD,
If you’re an international student who’s interested in applying to the University of Milan, you’ll need to complete an online application form which can be found on the university’s website. This is where you’ll also be able to find further details about how to apply as well as specific information regarding entry requirements.
The University of Milan offers 74 master’s programs, 32 doctoral programs, as well as 26 vocational master’s courses and 65 postgraduate schools of professional specialization.
