“Assessment of education quality of ULB in the field of Molecular Biology”
Molecular b
Belgium, Graduate
, 2013
Overall
I want to provide feedback on the educational quality of this institution, based on my observations of 2 people who graduated from here after pursuing a bachelors degree in another university and a MSc in molecular biology at the ULB.
These two graduates obtained their Masters degree and entered to work as lab technicians in the company where I work. I find it puzzling that they lack basic knowledge in how to perform dilutions, basic health safety measures to avoid becoming infected with bloodborne pathogens, basic procedures of human sample processing, and basic concepts of good laboratory practices.
Quite frankly, if they had gotten their Masters from a third world country, it would be acceptable to see them make these mistakes. But coming from an apparently reputed institution, it becomes clear that the MSc offered by the ULB does not guarantee anything, in the field of molecular biology it is a pay-to-get-a-Master institution.
I would advice any person thinking on paying around 8000 euro for a Masters here to reconsider.
