About the programme
Biochemistry at Bielefeld University is a four-semester Master of Science worth 120 credit points, starting in the winter semester. In the first year you deepen biochemical concepts and advanced experimental techniques. In the second year you apply and extend this knowledge in research placements that you carry out on your own, and you practise literature research, scientific writing, presenting and critical discussion of experimental results. Content follows current research by groups at Bielefeld University, the Heart and Diabetes Center in Bad Oeynhausen and other research institutions. You choose one of three profiles: chemical biology, built on preparative synthesis chemistry; structure and function of biological macromolecules, using modern physical-chemical measurement techniques; or cellular biochemistry, which links closely to basic medical research. It suits graduates who want hands-on research experience in biochemistry, a field that feeds progress in modern medicine and green chemistry.
Specialization
Students decide for themselves, based on their interests, which of the three offered profiles they wish to specialize in. 1. The Chemical Biology profile --focuses on learning and applying innovative and preparative synthetic chemistry with the aim of understanding the molecular aspects of life processes, influencing them in a targeted manner and using them for chemical syntheses. 2. In the Structure and Function of Biological Macromolecules profile , --students use modern physical-chemical measurement techniques to gain a fundamental understanding of molecular mechanisms in biological processes. 3. The Cellular Biochemistry profile --examines cellular processes biochemically and cell biologically to understand their impact on the entire organism. The investigation of pathobiochemical issues has a close connection to basic medical research.
