Attractive and innovative courses of study at the interface of molecular biology and medicine. The broad spectrum of topics from a great many disciplines in biology and medicine is unique within Germany. The master's includes a fast-track Ph.D. option enabling direct entry to the doctoral programme after the first year of the master's. We set ourselves apart with optimal programme organisation and very personal contact with our students. The comparatively low number of students makes it possible to create an informal atmosphere between students and teachers.

Interdisciplinary and flexibly configurable master's degree programme, attractive areas of specialisation: Industrial Biotechnology – Bioeconomy, Business Creation – Patenting, Advanced Methods in Biotechnology, Molecular and Cellular Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology and Active Ingredients, Biomaterials and Biopolymers. Recognition of key qualifications, language skills, non-university commitment.

In addition to the established Erasmus partnerships with universities in Great Britain, Sweden, Spain and France, the joint degree programmes with the Université de Strasbourg courses in human and molecular biology (Bachelor's degree, Master's degree) also offer the option of pursuing a German-French dual degree in the standard period of study. In addition, there is a culture of dealing flexibly with individually organised stays abroad (including New Zealand, USA, Italy) as well as participation in the international graduate college IRTG 1830 with the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.
