Biomedical Chеmistrу

The M.Sc. in Biomedical Chemistry offers a unique blend of chemistry, biology, and medical research. This interdisciplinary program equips students with the skills to explore diseases at the molecular level and contribute to the development of new pharmaceuticals and diagnostics. With practical lab courses, a broad range of electives, and specializations in areas such as pharmacology, immunology, and nanochemistry, the program prepares students for cutting-edge research careers. Graduates benefit from a deep understanding of drug development processes, setting them apart from conventional biochemists.

A mandatory admission requirement for this program is a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Chemistry from a university in Germany, or another German or international university degree whose content does not differ significantly from it (§ 2 of the examination regulations). The reference standard is the university's own B.Sc. in Biomedical Chemistry: it consists of more than 50% chemistry courses, with around 25% dedicated to practical lab training, including advanced lab courses in synthetic organic chemistry. Degrees in biology or pharmaceutics do not meet these requirements; in case of minor differences, up to 12 ECTS may need to be completed in the first year.
