About this programme

Modern life sciences bring new and unexpected insight into highly complex processes in cells, organs and organisms. But whatever the process is, it will have a molecular basis that will be revealed using biochemical methods. On the one hand, biochemistry is the basis of life sciences and linking chemistry, biology, physiology and biophysics. With a strong education in biochemistry, all fields of life sciences are open to you. On the other hand, as it is the study of the molecules of life, biochemistry is a fascinating subject on its own. Biochemistry covers both the analysis of biochemical systems and the reconstruction of biological systems by synthetic biochemistry with close relation to chemistry in a field that we call chemical biology. In addition, modern biochemistry is inspired by technological breakthroughs: High resolution light microscopy allows tracing of single proteins and molecules in general. Latest high resolution mass spectrometers separate, identify and quantify minute amounts of biomolecules with extreme precision. New chemical methods allow labelling and tracing of biomolecules in single cells. Robotics enables handling large sample sets with unprecedented speed and precision. Biochemistry is the basis of life sciences and a fascinating subject linking chemistry, biology, physiology and biophysics. Building on a century of state-of-the-art biochemical research in Germany, our Master's course of study in Biochemistry offers theoretical and practical educati
