Annotation
Systems biology is an innovative, interdisciplinary field of research that is constantly evolving. It aims to understand and model the dynamic processes occurring within a cell, organ or organism. The bilingual Master’s degree programme "Genome Based Systems Biology" pursues precisely this approach.
Thanks to the rapid advances in new high-throughput methods in biological and medical research, those interested in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics can collect vast amounts of data. By analysing this data and linking the individual levels, the way is paved for theoretical approaches and computer-aided models that simulate biological processes.
Admission requirements
The admission requirements for the course are:
Completing a Bachelor's degree course in Bioscience (or related subjects such as Chemistry, Nanophysics) or other first professionally qualifying certificate of academic degree with a standard period of study of at least 3 years and a proportion of at least 60 credit points (CP) in the subject of Biology or related subjects;
Proven command of German and English (at least level B2);
The successful completion of a written application procedure which among other things indicates the applicant's motivation and scientific aptitude for this degree course.
Further information can be found on Bielefeld University website or in the "Subject-Specific Regulations" published there.
