Master in Biochemistry

The University of Cologne is a university in Cologne, Germany. It was established in the year 1388 and is one of the most prestigious and research intensive universities in Germany. It was the sixth university to be established in Central Europe. It closed in 1798 before being re-established in 1919. The University of Cologne is one of the oldest and largest universities in Europe. Due to its outstanding scientific achievements and the high quality and diversity of its degree programmes, it enjoys an excellent international reputation. Whereas many universities owe their founding to important religious figures or secular regents, the University of Cologne was founded by citizens of the city. That explains why the University of Cologne is still regarded as a city university: not only was it founded by the citizens of Cologne, but its campus is located right in the city center.

"""<p>Course description In this strongly research-oriented program, you will extend your biochemical background and you will get to know modern methods in medical and modern life science research. Based on the strong biochemical background acquired in your Bachelor&#39;s program you will have the opportunity to pursue research in different areas of your choice. Topics of the program are: metabolism, molecular genetics, protein regulation, structural biology, protein engineering, aging research and many more. Structure Within the first year of the program, students attend an Advanced Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine Lecture Series and a Hot Topics in Biochemistry and Medicine Method Seminar as well as a course on Scientific Writing. Furthermore they select two Subject Modules. The latter are 7-week modules combining laboratory work with lectures and seminars. The second year is dedicated to individual laboratory research. It comprises two Laboratory Project Modules and writing a Project Proposal on the content of your Master&#39;s Thesis. In the Laboratory Project Modules, students work in a research group of their own choice on a scientific question for 12 weeks, to develop a deeper understanding of experimental methods. This module can also be taken outside of the University of Cologne allowing for international mobility. The Scientific Writing Module fosters transferable general writing skills. This prepares students for the Project Proposal, where they plan and layout the content of their future Master&#39;s Thesis project. The Master program is completed with a six-month research project that will be written up in a Master&rsquo;s Thesis and defended in a colloquium (Master Thesis &amp; Defense Module).
