The one-year master's programme Biochemistry International is intended to enable graduates of 4-year bachelor's degree courses from Germany and abroad to efficiently prepare for an independent scientific career. The current examination regulations for this program can be found here.

Graduates of the programme are familiar with current research topics, especially in the identification and characterization of protein-mediated processes in nature and technology. The profile of the graduates lies in the characterization and application of enzymes using methods of molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics and theoretical chemistry. The graduates have theoretical knowledge, methodological and system competence to independently recognize and solve complex problems at the current interfaces of chemistry and biology. They are able to plan, implement and convey research projects with a biomolecular scientific background.

The graduates are able to plan their professional development. With their degree, they have qualified to assume responsibility as a laboratory or project manager and have the potential to demonstrate their scientific qualifications in a doctorate. Important professional fields are in medical-pharmaceutical research, white, red and green biotechnology, quality control and quality management in the food industry, in public administration and life science research at universities and research institutes.
