Biochemistry
Master of Science

Admission is unrestricted, but requires a "proof of special suitability". A Bachelor's degree with good grades and sufficient German language skills (DSH-2)is compulsory. Successful applicants will have a good comprehension of biochemistry as well as organic and physical chemistry.

The programme may be started in April (summer term) or October (winter term).

The programme is research-oriented. The focus lies on the characterisation of enzymes as well as their application in biotechnology. Deploying modern molecular biological, biochemical and biophysical methods the structure and function of enzymes are elucidated and their use in enzyme technology is explored and improved.

The Master's program "Biochemistry" leads to the vocational qualification Master of Science (MSc) in 4 semesters. The first three semesters are divided equally between compulsory and electoral modules. The fourth semester is planned for the master's thesis.

More details and information can be found on the homepage of the programme.

Graduates have the knowledge and ability to independently identify and solve complex problems at current interfaces of chemistry and biology. They are able to demonstrate their scientific qualifications in a doctorate and are suited for leading positions in medical-pharmaceutical research, biotechnology and the food industry, as well as at universities, research institutes or in public administration.
