As I said before in a other thread (I don't remember if it was this section). To do a postgraduate in theoretical Biophysics or in a astrobiology, I need to have a minor, or a major is enough?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Usually, institutions that offer these postgraduate degrees list what you need to have in order to be admitted. Have you checked with them?

I saw on Top Universities and on the site of my department www.if.ufrj.br but I don't know how to find this information.
