- Description/content
- The two-year Master's programme in Biochemistry offers a research-oriented education in one of Germany's prime universities for biomedical research. Selected top students will be offered a "fast-track" option to start a PhD thesis after three semesters of MSc studies.
Students can choose between two specialisations:
• "Molecular Life Sciences" focuses on the structure and function of the molecules of life, and
• "Molecular Oncology" emphasises the molecular and cellular study of human cancer.
Lectures and practical courses are taught by biochemists, molecular biologists and clinicians with a wide range of research expertise.
