Master of Science (MSc)

Biophysics

Biophysics is a very exciting and rapidly expanding research field exploring new areas between physics and biology. The complexity of life is investigated at every level and analysed with physical methods. Physics helps understanding the mechanisms underlying the most basics biological systems and interactions.

Society is facing physical and biological problems of global proportions where Biophysics can be involved to find solutions.

How will we continue to get sufficient energy?
How can we feed the world’s population?
How do we remediate global warming?
How do we preserve biological diversity?
How do we secure clean and plentiful water?

More about the course

The aim of this Master programme is to

provide a comprehensive education and hands-on research in modern biophysics,
prepare students for the interdisciplinary nature of modern-day Life Sciences,
train the students in quantitative thinking and in state-of-the-art experimental techniques close to current research.

Students enrolling in the two-year Master programme may choose in addition to core lectures in Biophysics, specialisation courses from the vast offer of Life Sciences departments, such as in Chemistry and Biochemistry, Molecular Medicine and Biology. During the second year, students have the opportunity to carry out research at the academic level by completing two independent research projects. Our programme offers a highly flexible choice of subjects and the course syllabus is intimately connected to the ongoing research within the Life Sciences at our university.
