About the programme
The Chemical Biology Master of Science at TU Dortmund focuses on the molecular side of the life sciences: understanding biological processes and changing them in a targeted way with chemistry. You also learn modern biotechnology and bioanalytics. In elective lectures, lab courses and seminars in chemical biology, cell biology and medicinal chemistry you build theory and practical skills, and you can add courses in chemistry or other fields. You choose a major subject, join ongoing research there, and finish with a six-month Master's thesis. Courses are mainly in English, the programme lasts four semesters, and one or two semesters abroad are easy to fit in.

Prerequisites
admission to the Master's degree program is only possible if the Bachelor's degree program is comparable to the Bachelor's degree program in Chemistry/Chemical Biology at TU Dortmund University. An application for admission must be submitted to verify the equivalence. A grade of at least 3.2 is required for admission to the Master's degree program.
The Master's degree program Chemical Biology is based on the corresponding Bachelor's degree program. Therefore, not only a comprehensive theoretical education from the Bachelor’s degree program is required, but also a comparable scope of laboratory courses, not only in the field of biochemistry/chemical biology, but also in chemistry. Thus, admission to the Master's degree program is only possible if the Bachelor's degree program is comparable to the Bachelor's degree program in Chemistry/Chemical Biology at TU Dortmund University. An application for admission must be submitted to verify the equivalence. A grade of at least 3.2 is required for admission to the Master's degree program.
