Overview
Biochemistry investigates and describes the molecular structures and chemical processes occurring in living organisms at all levels of an organisation. This endeavour is predicated on the perspectives, insights and methods of organic, inorganic and physical chemistry and of molecular biology.
Biochemistry, therefore, has a critical impact on the foundational research conducted in many areas of bioscience (including applied disciplines) and plays an increasingly decisive role in initiating basic research projects in the field of chemistry.
The Master’s degree programme in Biochemistry at the University of Heidelberg prepares students to undertake doctoral studies, or to pursue a career in the field of research, or take on a leading position within academia, within governmental agencies or in industry. The skills and knowledge acquired also equip students to enter the job market.
Occupational Areas
Biochemists may pursue a career in any of the following:
- universities
- research institutions, in fields including Medicine, Earth Sciences, Environmental or Food Studies
- university clinics and medical laboratories
- businesses in the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnical industries-environmental agencies, food agencies or laboratories specialising in food hygiene
