Particular emphasis is placed on research-oriented and translational teaching. Through the cooperation with numerous researchers from the Heidelberg region, students receive insights into current research at an early stage. The close cooperation with the University Clinic in Clinical Pharmacy offers students training that is as realistic as possible. Small groups, state-of-the-art equipment and a broad selection of research internships makes everyday student life interesting and provides optimal support.

As part of the Erasmus exchange programme, students can take courses abroad. This can be done right away in StEX pharmacy, i.e. the standard period of study can be adhered to through flexible solutions at the home university. We also support our students in planning stays abroad during the practical year. Numerous cooperations in Germany and abroad allow maximum flexibility during the course. The Master's degree programme in Molecular Biotechnology also expressly promotes stays abroad.

The practicals are carried out in modern laboratories which are equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The IPMB (Institute for Pharmacy and Molecular Biology) has ultra-modern imaging technology, a pool of equipment in the Pharmaceutical Technology and Analysis department to industry level as well as numerous state-of-the-art applications in the field of Chemistry and Molecular Biology. Thanks to the excellent infrastructure in Heidelberg, the students also have the possibility of working with such equipment outside of the IPMB and can therefore always be trained in accordance with state-of-the-art technology.

The IPMB (Institute for Pharmacy and Molecular Biology) studies the development, examination and application of drugs and medicinal substances and the clarification of related molecular and cellular mechanisms. Key research areas include nucleic acids as tools and therapeutic target structures, new anti-infectives, Molecular Evolution research, Phytochemistry, Proteomics and Systems Biology, "drug targeting" and transport of active agents and the research into neurodegenerative diseases. Close collaboration within the Institute makes translational research at the highest level possible.
