MA/MS in Molecular Life Sciences

This interdisciplinary master's program investigates how molecular, cellular and biochemical processes drive biological systems, from the medical ('red') branch of biochemistry to the plant-focused ('green') branch. Students learn current methods and findings from molecular biology, cell biology and biochemistry and apply them to research questions. Alongside technical training, the program builds core skills in planning research projects and communicating results, preparing graduates for academic, non-university or industrial research careers, with the option to continue toward a doctorate. The four-semester curriculum combines lectures, seminars, practicals and laboratory work, with compulsory courses concentrated in the first two semesters.
