MA/MS in Biophysik

The master's programme in Biophysics trains researchers at the boundary between the life sciences and physics, with a focus on cellular systems. Students learn to tackle complex questions with modern mathematical, computational and experimental methods. The biophysics elective area prepares students for interdisciplinary research projects and for their thesis. A broader elective area develops transferable skills such as foreign languages, business basics and the organisation of scientific work, or offers insight into methods from chemistry, computer science or mathematics. The second year is a research phase. In the third semester students prepare through an introduction to scientific work and a laboratory project before writing their master's thesis, which completes the degree. Students are prepared to join interdisciplinary research teams across biology and physics.
