Hands-on

Our study programmes always have a high practical relevance. This is not only a change from book studies, but is also a lot of fun.
 

Why Biochemistry?

In recent years, Biochemistry has become increasingly important in the field of science as the basis for many important and exciting research projects. The study of Biochemistry is particularly interesting for people who want to learn more about the chemical processes in living organisms.

Course content explained quickly

On the Master's degree programme, which is partly taught in English, students can choose from a compulsory programme of some advanced lectures and many modules with biochemical aspects from Biology, Biophysics, Chemistry and Medicine. This allows students to set individual specialisations during their studies.

Study situation at Ulm University

As a young research university, Ulm University is dedicated to the global challenges of the future - at the highest level. Literally, because we are the highest university in Germany.

We are characterised by a clear focus on Medicine and MINT subjects (Mathematics, Information Technology, Natural Sciences and Technology), an outstanding quality of education and excellence in research. We support around 10,000 students on our degree programmes. What research and teaching have in common: Curiosity, passion and commitment - at the highest level. We are the driving force behind Science City, Ulm's powerhouse for technology and knowledge transfer.

Study abroad

A great way to broaden your horizons in a discipline is to study at a foreign university. Ulm University students can apply for one or two semesters abroad at numerous universities, both throughout Europe as part of the ERASMUS programme and outside Europe. If lectures are not required, internships and theses at other universities are also possible.

Ulm University has exchange agreements with over 100 universities in 26 countries.
