About this programme

The Master's degree programme in Chemical Biology focuses on the molecular aspects of the life sciences with respect to the understanding of biological processes and their targeted chemical manipulation. In addition, modern methods of biotechnology and bioanalytics as well as their applications are taught. In compulsory elective lectures, laboratory courses, and seminars in chemical biology, cell biology, and medicinal chemistry, students deepen their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in research-relevant areas. Students can also take courses in chemistry, other natural sciences, or in other fields. In addition, students will choose a major subject in which they actively participate in ongoing research and demonstrate their ability to conduct independent research during the Master's thesis. The completion of the Master's thesis, which is scheduled to last six months, marks the end of the degree programme.
