Master of Human Medicine

The 6-year medical programme provides students with the knowledge of natural and human sciences that forms the basis for clinical practice. In addition, it gives them the skills and abilities that are essential to their future as physicians. While the core curriculum is compulsory, students are also being offered a variety of elective modules (Mantelstudium) such as surgery, ambulatory medicine, family medicine, clinical epidemiology, medical informatics, pain treatment, palliative care, as well as internships in biomedical research laboratories. The Master of Medicine degree is awarded after the completion of six years of studies. After successfully passing the Federal examination in medicine, the graduated obtains a diploma as physician and can begin postgraduate studies.

Consecutive Master in Biology

The central element of the program is the Concepts lecture in Modern Genetics and Genomics combined with one of the two seven-week block courses in Modern Genetics and Genomics and Experimental Developmental Biology. 

These two laboratory courses give students an introduction to both theory and experimental practice in Genetics and Developmental Biology using different animal model organisms (fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster; threadworm, Caenorhabditis elegans, and zebrafish Danio rerio).
