Overview

Molecular Biology students from University of Vienna learn to understand and analyse the chemical reactions in cells on a molecular level and in context. 

Key features

They broaden their knowledge of the methods in molecular biology, and are then able to work on complex molecular and biomedical questions independently, using state-of-the-art large-scale equipment. They can select one of the following specialisations according to their interests: Biochemistry, Molecular Structural Biology, or Molecular Cell Biology. All of these fields represent central subject areas of molecular biology.

Career:

Graduates can pursue a career in the following occupational fields:

• academic career in private and public higher education and research institutions (in the fields of chemistry, biology, or medicine with a focus on biochemistry)
• research activities and career in a clinical setting (e.g. genetic medicine, medical and biological fields of basic research, clinical research, as well as therapy design)
• chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories and biotechnology (from start-ups to large-scale industry)
