Master-level Program
Structure of the Master-level program Molecular Science 
The Master study course Molecular Science is in terms of content based on the Bachelor-level Program but is more discover led. The regular period of study takes three semester including all exams and Master Thesis. You need 90 ECTS-Points to get a successful degree.
The students have the opportunity for a specialization and a deepened study of both partitions of Molecular Nano Science and Molecular Life Science. The Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree is a further vocational and research qualifying degree of the scientific study. The teaching is done in English.
Condition for allowance to the Master study course is an above average successful completed course of study. The qualification will be proven by a certificate of:
- the Bachelor examination of the Molecular Science study course
- the Bachelor examination of an other German or foreign university
- the Diploma, Bachelor or Master of a German university or
- an other assimilable degree.
Candidates after 1. must have passed the Bachelor examination with "good" at least or have passed the Aptitude Test.
Other candidates need an overall grade of at least 2,4. Candidates concerning to 2. till 4. will be affiliated when they have passed the Aptitude Test. Degrees with other grade systems need to have a grade comparable to grade "good".
The Master-level Program is modularly structured. The separate modules and their thematical focuses are listed below. The Module Guide constitutes the contents of each courses in detail.
| Module name |
Module content |
| MS17: Molecular Nanoscience | Compilation of basic considerations of the supramolecular organisation. The analysis of material properties of molecular, macromolecular and supramolecular aggregates is focused. |
| MS18: Drug Discovery | An integrated and interactive course concerning development of active ingredient synthesis (inclusing combinative chemical methods), biological screening methods for testing the activity, assay technologies for testing the biological activity, virtual docking and computer supported quantitative structure activity relations (QSAR). |
| MS19: Molecule Synthesis |
This module handles strategic processes of inorganic and organic molecules and molecules with material scientific and biological relevance. |
| MS20: Theory | This module centres the quantum-mechanical description of molecules and particularly the theory of catalytic reaction as well as the computer-assisted modelling of molecular materials and biological systems. |
| MS21: Physical Chemistry | The characteristics of molecular materials is up to the arrangement of building blocks especially to the expansion in three directions in space. Is at least one of three lenghts within the nanometer area the quantum conditions have any effect and constitute the novel characteristics of nano-materials. It is important for practical application to systematical structure surfaces on the nanometer-scale. This shall be exemplified by means of the current research within this module. |
| MS22: Molecular Biology | Molecular and biochemical fundamentals of the genetics and the metabolism will be taken up and will be pulled together with organisms as well as collectivizations of miscellaneous organisms. It will be based on the molecular scientific consideration by teaching the macromolecular detection as it is important in signal chain and coordinated metabolic pathways. The biological effects of macromolecular interactions like receptor-ligand interaction on the surface of cells, signal transmissions in the inside of cells and gene-regulatory mechanisms for acclimatization of cellular properties on the environment will be deepened in an integrated curriculum of biochemistry, genetics and microbiology. |
| MS23: Medicinal Chemistry | This module imparts continuative aspects of the medical chemistry like asymmetrical active ingrediant synthesis, solid phase supported parallel-synthesis, biochemical analysis as well as instrumental drug and food analysis. |
