Master in MSc in Chemical Biology

At Roskilde University, tuition costs 11,682 USD per year.

Chemistry is at the root of all biological processes, and in areas ranging from the development and use of medicines for disease management to food safety and sustainability, it all starts with an understanding of the chemical and biological mechanisms at play. The Master’s programme in Chemical Biology at RUC lays the foundation for understanding the role chemistry plays in biological processes, and how chemical tools are employed to study, understand, and regulate these processes. In this interdisciplinary programme, you will learn to approach biological questions and problems from a chemical perspective by applying chemical tools, methods, and analyses to study, evaluate and regulate biological systems. You will develop skills at the forefront of areas such as organic chemistry, spectroscopy, eukaryotic cell biology, proteomics, and metabolomics. Furthermore, you will receive training in good experimental practice (GxP) and data analysis, enabling you to perform high quality experiments and evaluate complex data sets.

You will become part of the Department of Science and Environment and have the opportunity to work closely with expert researchers from the disciplines of chemistry, biology, and physics, giving you ample access to state-of-the-art equipment. You will also have the opportunity to attend events and participate in activities, such as the night café (Natcafé) and student-organised board game nights. This vibrant study environment prepares you for the many professional challenges you will meet in a wide variety of modern companies and research groups.
