Technische Universität München
Master German Mathematics & Natural Sciences

Physics - Biophysics

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Biophysics deals with the physical description of biological materials. This involves examining the elementary molecular components of a cell, as well as the interaction of these components at a systemic level. The aim of research is to establish a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental mechanisms that ultimately make life possible, but which also cause diseases. The master's program in Biophysics offers specialization areas including molecular biophysics, cellular biophysics, theoretical biophysics, system biophysics, and biomedical biophysics. Graduates possess extensive knowledge of discipline-specific fundamentals concerning the physics of soft matter, ranging from nanometers to the microscopic scale, and insights into current research across the entire spectrum of modern biophysics.
