This unique Master’s degree programme at the Department of Biology offers the opportunity to explore an innovative and rapidly developing field. Take the next step in your academic journey and help shape the future of life sciences. Applications for the winter semester are open from June 1st and July 15th for the winter semester.
Numerous urgent problems of our time can only be solved with an interdisciplinary approach in an international context. The international and interdisciplinary Master's programme “Synthetic Biology” will allow you to gain knowledge and skills to address these complex challenges in life science research using the principles of synthetic biology.
The English-taught degree programme combines current knowledge from the fields of molecular biology, engineering and materials sciences. By bringing the disciplines together, an engineering approach can be used to endow biological cells with new molecular functions.
There is an emphasis on laboratory-based work using a wide range of modern methodologies and techniques. In addition you will develop an understanding of mathematical modelling of biological systems and the application of engineering principles to solve biological problems.
This degree programme does not stop by teaching scientific knowledge. You will gain the ability to think creatively and innovatively and to work independently. Through our strong focus on practical experience and research, you will be able to transfer your theoretical knowledge into practice and develop your own projects. This project work is completed with training in intercultural and scientific communication.
