Description/content

Students acquire a wide-ranging, integrated knowledge and understanding of the scientific and technical fundamentals of their field of study. They have at their disposal a critical understanding of the basic theories, principles and methods dealt with during their studies, and are in a position to broaden this knowledge independently.

Moreover, students gain the ability to collect and interpret data and use it to infer scientifically based judgements, as well as to implement appropriate solutions that take into account social, scientific, and ethical issues, and to construct continuous learning processes independently. They learn how to formulate and defend opinions and solutions with reference to their specific field, to exchange information, ideas, problems and solutions with experts and laymen, and to work responsibly in modern professional life.

Our modern, well-equipped labs play a major role in ensuring that students are later able to apply their knowledge to their chosen careers. Advanced students plan projects together, work towards a common goal and then present their results in a written report as well as to the class.

Our instruction methods include problem-based approaches and integrated team work. By taking modules in business and management, research planning and scientific writing, students obtain skills necessary for their future success.

Course details

Course organisation

In general, the programme includes a research-oriented part that allows students to continuously develop their specialist expertise over three semesters and concludes with the Master’s thesis in the fourth semester. In the first three semesters, courses are offered that encompass and significantly expand upon the theoretical foundations of the Bachelor’s programme. The ratio of research-oriented work and lectures is 1:1. In this way, the development of scientific topics is made possible, methodological competence can be expanded, and specialised knowledge from current scientific issues can be conveyed. The programme normally concludes with the Master’s thesis and the colloquium in the fourth semester.

The following subjects are offered (This is an exemplary list. Not all subjects have to be offered; additions are possible):

Advanced basic modules

Biochemistry
Biomedical Applications
Biomedical Engineering in Ophthalmology
Cellular and Molecular Biophysics I
