Biochemistry M.Sc.
The program
The Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy and the Faculty of Medicine at JMU offer biochemistry as a research-oriented, international (English-language) degree program leading to a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree as part of a consecutive bachelor's and master's degree model. Due to its practical training, the study of biochemistry provides solid professional qualifications with excellent opportunities on the job market and at the same time prepares graduates for scientific work in the field of biochemistry and for a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.).
Our mission – your future!
Thanks to discoveries and developments in recent years and decades, biochemistry is having a growing impact on our daily lives, especially in the field of medical applications—for example, the novel mRNA vaccines developed in response to the coronavirus pandemic and state-of-the-art cancer therapies. The scientists at JMU use cutting edge methods and instruments in their research and are constantly developing them further. Molecular life sciences have the potential to play a decisive role in shaping our future. Learn the future technologies that will be in demand tomorrow as part of your degree program. Become part of science and change the world with us!
Open to international students
The University of Würzburg has established the International Office as a point of contact for international students with questions about their studies, finding accommodation, or social contacts. In addition, the Student Services Association offers counseling and support to ensure that studying in Würzburg is a success at all levels!
This 2-year program offers a research-oriented education in one of Germany's top universities for biomedical research. Selected top students will be offered a "fast-track" option to start a PhD thesis after 3 semesters of MSc studies.
You can choose between two specializations: Molecular Life Sciences and Molecular Oncology.
Molecular Life Sciences
This specialization deals with the structure and function of the molecules of life. By selecting various modules in the sub-areas of “Structural and Functional Biochemistry” and “Molecular and Medical Cell Biology,” you can deepen and perfect your knowledge from your bachelor's degree program while pursuing your interests in specific subject areas.
