About this program
The Master’s program in Biochemistry links chemistry and biology as well as facilitating individual specialization on the interface between chemistry, biology, and medicine. As the “chemistry of life”, biochemistry provides the link between biology and chemistry. Further, bioinformatics plays an ever greater role in modern biochemistry. Biochemists analyze the organization of cells and organisms at a molecular level. They analyze biochemical reaction mechanisms such as the intracellular transport of substances, cellular differentiation, signaling cascades, or cellular stress responses, as well as the molecular causes of illnesses. In addition, biochemists make use of the methods of chemistry, molecular biology, and physics. Besides the main subject, in the context of the Master’s program in Biochemistry you choose two minors: one in chemistry and the other in biology. Thanks to the numerous combinations of disciplines, an individual discipline-specific and competency profile emerges. As a graduate, you possess a far-reaching understanding of how the natural sciences relate to one another. You are therefore able to handle scientific and technical questions independently and to develop solutions. In accordance with your chosen areas of specialization, you will in addition have been able to create an independent competency profile. The interdisciplinary character of the program means that you have at your disposal knowledge of neighboring disciplines in medicine and the life sciences as well as associated methods. You are able to design, conduct, and evaluate scientific investigations independently, including on the interfaces between scientific areas. In the process, you work constructively with colleagues in interdisciplinary teams.
