Biochemistry

More about the course

Biochemistry is the science of the chemical basis of living organisms. This includes topics such as the structure and properties of biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, metabolic reaction pathways and their systemic regulation, cell biology and the molecular basis of diseases. You will gain insights into essential biophysical investigation techniques and the possible application of biochemical knowledge, e.g. in biotechnology or pharmacy. In terms of organisation, the course is divided into a compulsory area (biochemistry, chemistry, physics and mathematics) and an elective area consisting of biology, computer science, medicine and others. At Ulm University, particular emphasis is placed on practical training in the form of exercises and laboratory work.
