The Master's programme in Molecular Medicine builds on a BSc degree in the field of life sciences, especially in biochemistry, biomedical science, human biology, molecular biology, molecular biotechnology, molecular life science, or molecular medicine. Students can deepen and broaden their knowledge of the molecular pathways leading to proliferation, differentiation and death of cells, the physiology of cells and organs, and the pathophysiology of diseases, while at the same time enhancing their practical laboratory skills.
The interdisciplinary Master's programme in Molecular Medicine comprises two years of studies (four semesters). All lectures, seminars and practical training courses as well as all examinations are held in English. In the first semester, students deepen their knowledge of topics such as Cell and Developmental Biology, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Ageing, Pharmacology and Drug Development and complete a three-week practical training in laboratory methods. In the second and third semesters, students focus on practical work in different research areas. Here, four different main subjects will be offered, consisting of various seminars and a four-week practical training. These main subjects are divided into four blocks, two blocks per semester with the main topics of Molecular Oncology, Trauma and Infection, Cell Biology and Toxicology. Four other smaller subjects go beyond purely scientific content and prepare students for the day-to-day work of a scientist. These include topics such as Clinical Trials, Bioethics, Good Scientific Practice as well as Project Management and Funding. The fourth semester is reserved for writing the practical Master's thesis. The Master's in Molecular Medicine concludes with an oral examination (disputation) at the end of the final semester. Two European double degree programmes with partner universities in Padua (Italy) and Oulu (Finland) and two specialisation options in the fields of Molecular Oncology or Toxicology are attractive additional options. Students must apply separately after admission in their first year of study. It is not possible to take part in more than one of those options.
