Overview
The graduates of this programme ...
... will be capable of conceiving basic scientific, especially biochemical and biophysical problems. They are able to plan and execute experiments in order to answer scientific questions. Based on the knowledge obtained in a bachelor’s degree, students acquire additional skills and know-how which enables them to develop solutions even in situations where the actual methods are not sufficient. Interdisciplinary experimental and applications are considered as important tools.
... will have deepened their knowledge in biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics microbiology or applied biosciences according to the current state of research. They will be able to understand contemporary scientific publications, challenge the results of their own work and that of others and present them to an audience. The Master course Biochemistry and Biophysics is at the University of Strasbourg designed to provide graduates with the necessary basics to continue their education in a doctoral school on a high international level.
... will have been introduced to scientific research: They will be supposed to challenge scientific publications and results and handle them responsibly.
... will have acquired ethical skills regarding general and subject-related principles of righteous scientific work and good practice (avoiding plagiarism, transparent documentation of data).
... will be able to work in subjects related to biochemistry and biophysics, they will be capable of collaborating with researchers working in related fields.The Master is structured in 4 semesters and 2 years. It offers two specialization tracks:
Students who start in Strasbourg, will take courses in Physical Chemistry during the first year. The second year will take place in Freiburg. They will do two short internships during the third semester and then write their master thesis in the fourth semester.
