About the Program
Why come to Tübingen to pursue your Master's degree in life science? We focus on laboratory and organisational skills. Theoretical education is becoming easier to access. What gives you an edge is practical proficiency in research and personal skills. We offer a broad degree. You are not pushed into premature specialisation before you have gained a good overview of different areas of the life sciences and you can make a well-informed career decision. Our programme is flexible. You have your own personal preferences and instead of changing them to fit the course, courses are designed to meet your needs. The Tübingen Master's in Biochemistry is international and career-oriented. We teach in English, the lingua franca of science, and support you with writing and presenting courses. Also, our student body is international; it is your first step to a worldwide peer network, and the majority of our students do lab rotations abroad in Europe, North America, and Asia supported by our faculty. Biochemistry is the science of the fundamentals of life and disease. How do nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and sugars come together to form cells and, ultimately, organisms? What is going wrong in the diverse diseases that plague us and how can this be fixed? Most modern drugs stem from biochemical research. Biochemistry combines biology (more macroscopic) and chemistry (more atomic). In this course, you will have a chance to learn about a selection of the following topics: immunology, cell biology, molecular and structural biology, biophysics, virology/microbiology, pathobiochemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, bioinformatics, developmental biology, neuroscience, and molecular medicine.
