The Molecular Systems Biology track offers you extensive training in modern molecular biology and education focused on systems biology (omics, gene/protein structure-function relationships) with a special focus on molecular interaction networks.

Implementation of eco-friendly plant production technologies, minimizing the hazards and risks to human health and the environment, is a major challenge worldwide. This challenge is faced by all economic sectors producing or using plants: agriculture, agrifood, cosmetics, pharmaceutics.

In the Master of Science (M.Sc.) Biomass Technology program, students will get a combination of specialized knowledge and interdisciplinary skills in the fields of energy, process engineering, plant cultivation as well as chemistry, in order to transform our technology and industry onto a sustainable basis.

ThisMSc Bioscience (Research and Development) will help you understand how to develop research from the lab to the clinic. With a bioscience background, you will develop your scientific knowledge base whilst improving your ability to design experiments in the context of translational medicine. Understanding clinical trial design in more detail together with improving your critical evaluation of scientific papers and an extended lab-based project will equip you with more knowledge and skills required for pursuing a PhD or other scientific career.

MSc in Biological Sciences the second-level degree in Biological Sciences (LM-6 class Biology) aims to train graduates with advanced knowledge and expertise in updated biomolecular and biotechnological methodologies for application in diagnostic, nutritional, and environmental fields. These curricula, in combination with core courses, give students flexibility to tailor their degree to their background, interests, and career goals.

To provide students with a fundamental knowledge of molecular and cell biology; including advanced characterisation, data analytics and biophysics.

In this interdisciplinary course, students will gain knowledge and skills in the area of advanced material science with a special focus on materials for medical applications.

Agro- and ecosystems offer a wide range of essential goods and services such as food, water, energy and biodiversity. This programme is dedicated to train the next generation of experts in the sustainable management and functioning of natural and agro-ecosystems, not only from a biophysical perspective but also from a wider socio-economic perspective.

Our programme will provide you with essential skills in both molecular and computational techniques. You will learn how to design and perform experiments, and efficiently analyse next-generation sequencing data. You will acquire research data mining skills for Biological Sciences, Transcriptomics, Genomics, Proteomics and Metagenomics.

The Master of Science (MSc) is a two-year degree which encompasses both coursework and research. The first year involves mainly coursework and preliminary research preparation. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to existing fields of research, or to begin to develop new areas.

Through the programme in Evolutionary Biology, you will acquire an explicit evolutionary biological perspective in the study of nature and develop your understanding of patterns and processes from the cellular to the ecosystem level.

The Master in Sustainable Energy and Processes equips you with the knowledge and skills to develop innovative, environmentally friendly energy systems and resource-efficient processes. By combining the principles of renewable energy with cutting-edge technologies, this program focuses on designing, implementing, and optimizing sustainable solutions for a greener future. As the world transitions toward a more sustainable future, industries face the challenge of ensuring a reliable energy supply while minimizing environmental impact. This program prepares you to meet these demands by exploring renewable resources like biomass, solar, and wind energy, as well as advancing sustainable methods for processing non-renewable raw materials.

Graduate study in Biological Sciences at Purdue is multidisciplinary, offering a wide variety of choices for doctorate and master's degrees. These diverse research areas include cancer biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, cell biology, ecology and conservation biology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biosciences, plant biology, structural biology, biophysics and bioinformatics. This vibrant graduate program will prepare you for today's challenging academic, industry and federal job markets.

Are you interested to learn about the fascinating complexity of living organisms, from single molecules to global ecosystems? Would you like to become familiar with cell biology, biochemistry, neurobiology, molecular genetics, evolution, ecology, bioinformatics, metabolomics or proteomics, would you like to understand behavior, neuron function, mechanisms of microbial infection, parasitology, tumor development or tissue regeneration? The seven BioEU Master of Science Programmes offer you tailor-made -curricula according to your personal interests. Selecting a particular BioEU Master program will allow you to become a specialist in your chosen field of interest, and, during the master's program, you will be involved in ongoing projects in leading-edge research groups either at the University of Würzburg or partner universities.

The base of this program is the study of molecular and cellular processes active in micro-organisms, plants, animals, and humans. You acquire a thorough knowledge of molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, biochemistry, nanobiology, physiology, and immunology.
