Ranked by the number of published courses mapped to each.
Biology is the broad study of living things, from the molecules inside cells to whole organisms, populations and ecosystems. Abroad it is offered at bachelor's, master's and PhD level, with laboratory and field training throughout.
Bachelor'sMaster'sPhD1 courseExplore specialization View coursesBiotechnology uses living cells, enzymes and genetic tools to make useful products, from vaccines and antibody medicines to industrial enzymes and hardier crops. Abroad, it is offered at bachelor's, master's and PhD level.
Bachelor'sMaster'sPhD1 courseExplore specialization View coursesBiochemistry explains life in chemical terms: how proteins, enzymes, DNA, lipids and sugars are built, how they react, and how cells use them to release energy, copy genes and respond to signals. It is offered abroad at bachelor's, master's and PhD level.
Bachelor'sMaster'sPhDNo courses yetExplore specialization View coursesGenetics studies how genes are inherited, expressed and changed, and how differences in DNA shape health, disease, crops and evolution. Degrees combine laboratory work with statistics and the analysis of genomic data.
Bachelor'sMaster'sPhDNo courses yetExplore specialization View coursesMarine Biology studies the organisms that live in oceans, seas and coastal waters, and how they interact with each other and their surroundings. Abroad it is taught at bachelor's, master's and PhD level, with laboratory classes, shore surveys and time at sea.
Bachelor'sMaster'sPhDNo courses yetExplore specialization View coursesMicrobiology is the study of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microscopic life: how they grow, cause infection, recycle nutrients and can be used to make food, medicines and vaccines. Abroad, it is offered at bachelor's, master's and PhD level.

06 Answers
A specialization is a named strand inside a subject — Artificial Intelligence inside Computer Science, for example. Courses are mapped to one, so filtering by a specialization narrows the catalogue to the programmes that actually teach it.
Not always. Some programmes ask you to declare one at application, others let you choose after a common first year. The course record states which applies.
Yes. Shortlist courses from any specialization and compare them side by side on tuition, duration, intakes and study modes.
