Overview
Students in MSc Molecular Science from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), may specialize in one of two exciting fields of modern, strongly interdisciplinary molecule-based research areas:
- Molecular Life Science focuses on drug discovery and related subjects (e.g. molecular modelling, molecular biology), or
- Molecular Nanoscience focuses on nanomaterials, nanoanalytics, supramolecular chemistry and potential applications.
Features
In both programs, students attend their core modules (Chemistry, Molecular Lifescience or Molecular Nanoscience) and add one Compulsory elective module from a list of available interdisciplinary topics.
For the Elective modules students are encouraged to choose courses according to their own preferences from chemistry or other science disciplines. Alternatively, language courses, law, and business studies may be considered.

Other requirements
General requirements
The successful completion of a Bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject is required for admission to the Master’s degree program in Molecular Science. Since this program builds upon the basic concept generally learned in a Bachelor’s program, the required first degree must be closely related. Most successful applicants hold a B.Sc. degree in Chemistry or a Bachelor’s degree that includes content from the molecule-based chemical science disciplines. Bachelor’s degree programs which can be considered for admission have at least 80% of courses in the core disciplines of chemistry, from which at least 25% consists of fundamental lab work performed by the student.
Furthermore, a grade of 2.5 or better according to the German grading system has to be proved in the qualifying Bachelor’s degree program.
