Annotation

The Master’s degree course in Biomedicine (MSc) at the Faculty of Health and Sports is a research-oriented programme at the interface between medicine and the natural sciences. The aim is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of molecular, cell biological and biochemical processes and to prepare them specifically for scientific activities.

During your studies, you will deepen your knowledge in central areas of biomedicine:
• Molecular Biomedicine, Biochemistry and Cell Biology
• Pathophysiology and Pathology
• Microbiology and Genetic Engineering
• Analysis and Interpretation of Complex Biomedical Data

There is a special focus on practical training:
• Use of modern laboratory and analytical methods
• Own research projects
• Internal and external research practicals
• Continuous practical relevance throughout the programme

The degree programme is characterised by its:
• Close integration of theory, practice and current research
• Interdisciplinary approach with references to medicine, computer science and technology
• Teaching of scientific skills according to the principles of good scientific practice and open science
• International focus and involvement in research projects
• Blended learning concept with face-to-face and online components

The Master’s degree is aimed at graduates of scientific or medical degree courses (e.g. Biomedicine, Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or related disciplines) who wish to deepen their skills in the field of research and laboratory work.

Career opportunities arise in particular in:
• Basic and applied research
• Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
• Medical and diagnostic laboratories
• Academic institutions and universities

The academic degree also qualifies students for a doctorate and an international career in biomedical research.
