Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in biochemistry or a similar biochemical study program in natural sciences. Applicants holding a degree in pharmaceutical sciences, pharmacy, (industrial) biotechnology, chemical or biological engineering will not be considered unless additional qualification in biochemistry is provided.
Required ECTS credits: 180.
At least 36 credit points (ECTS) of 180 have to be achieved in basic or advanced biochemical courses, laboratory training, or the bachelor thesis. Subject areas which can be credited are modules in biochemistry, molecular biology, biophysics, protein engineering, environmental biochemistry, bioenergetics, or metabolism.
Please note: Modules or courses in areas like organic / inorganic / physical / pharmaceutical chemistry, physiology, genetics, bionanotechnology, or bioinformatics do not count as biochemical subject areas.
If you have not completed your bachelor's degree by the time of application for the master's program, you can still apply if at least 80% of the total credit points, which can be achieved in the bachelor's study program have to be obtained successfully. Please submit a transcript of records that indicates a preliminary grade, which is then used for the application procedure. In the case of admission to the master's study program, admission is subject to the condition that the last examination in your bachelor's study program has been completed by September 30th when applying for the Winter term, and by March 31th when applying for the Summer term. The successful completion of open examinations has to be provided to the office of examinations at the latest 6 weeks after the beginning of the master's study term. If these certificates are not provided at all or not provided in time, confirmation for admission will be invalidatеd.
The final grade is at least "good" (i.e. 2,5) or better. Please note: grades of applicants with a non-German degree will be transferred to the German grading scale bу uni-assist.
