Field of study
- Target group This degree course deepens the knowledge gained in a first professionally qualifying degree (see admission requirements) that are needed for a scientific occupation in the selected disciplines of biology and medicine. Students should also gain the ability to process scientific results and adequately communicate these in English. The aim of the Masters in Biomedicine is thus to teach specialist skills in the field of biology (deepen knowledge of protein biochemistry and bioinformatics). Students will also acquire theoretical and practical skills in medicine/pathophysiology, biomedical research and knowledge in various areas of medicine. Key areas of the programme are immunology, neurobiology and neuroimmunological problems. Furthermore, students will gain soft skills such as dealing with laboratory animals, creating scientific illustrations. A course on radiation protection will teach students how to work with radioactivity. In this Master's degree course, biologists will gain a better understanding of medical problems that will enable them to begin working more competently in biomedical research institutions.
