Master of Science in Biochemistry

Combining the fields of chemistry, biology, physiology, and biophysics, biochemistry explores the molecules of life and forms the basis for all life sciences. Biochemistry is both about the analysis of biochemical systems and the reconstruction of biological systems through synthetic biochemistry. Based on state-of-the-art biochemical research, students in the Biochemistry master’s degree program receive theoretical and practical training in the key areas of biochemistry through lecture series, methodology courses, and lab rotations at the University of Bonn and partner institutions.

In addition, students acquire in-depth knowledge of the chemical biology of nucleic acids, lipids, lipidomics, and metabolomics, as well as the biophysics of membrane proteins and the biochemical basis of neurophysiology, utilizing state-of-the-art technologies and methods under the supervision of experienced and internationally renowned scientists. This degree program offers access to a strong research environment, both at the University of Bonn (with a focus on immunology and metabolic processes) and other research institutions based in Bonn.
