About this programme

The Faculty of Biology at Würzburg University warmly welcomes motivated graduates with a background in Biology (BSc or equivalent) to its two-year international Master’s programme in Molecular and Cellular Biophysics. Designed for globally minded young scientists, the programme enables you to explore how cellular structures and individual molecules function independently or within complex networks, using state-of-the-art biophysical and bioinformatic technologies. Drawing from cutting-edge research, you will investigate the key components of living systems – from individual cells to single molecules. Depending on your interests, you can specialise in your major topic in the theoretical and methodological aspects of membrane transport, structural biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, molecular signal perception and transduction, complemented by bioinformatics as a minor topic for the integrative analysis of large-scale biological data. You will learn from internationally renowned researchers in an environment that fosters curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. The Faculty’s broad expertise and cooperative network ensure an intellectually stimulating curriculum. Through an inspiring combination of lectures, seminars, and extensive laboratory training – all taught in English – you’ll acquire advanced, research-oriented training in quantitative sciences, preparing you for PhD programmes or careers in life sciences research, biophysics, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and beyond.
