The Biology Masters Study Program, Faculty of mathematics and Natural Sciences, Andalas University has five concentrations, namely:

  1. Ecology and Ecosystem Conservation
  2. Genetics and Molecular
  3. Physiology
  4. Biosystematics and Evolution
  5. Microbiology

Each Concentration consists of two Concentration Compulsory Courses. Furthermore, each Concentration offer four Elective Courses. Each student is required to take at least two elective courses of their selected concentration, and may choose two elective course from other concentrations.
