The students are to be trained as scientists! They are taught the relevant biomedical subjects and learn extensive methods and techniques in small group lessons and as part of research internships. They will be trained in such a way that they are optimally prepared for the requirements of modern research in university hospitals, research institutes and in the biomedical industry.
Overall objective of the programme
After successfully completing this degree programme, graduates will be able to apply scientific knowledge and scientific methods to the complex problems of biomedical research and to act responsibly and successfully in accordance with ethical principles.
Subordinate programme objectives
- Students have acquired basic knowledge of terms, phenomena and concepts in the fields of cell biology, anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and biomathematics/statistics. They will be able to independently apply the description and solution methods they have learnt to problems in these areas and develop solutions.
- Graduates of the degree programme have a solid basic knowledge of the medical fields of pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, human genetics and pathology. They are familiar with the terms, basic concepts and examination methods of the respective disciplines and are able to independently transfer the description and solution methods they have learnt to problems in these areas and develop solutions.
- Graduates are familiar with a wide range of common examination methods and techniques in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, genetics and microbiology. They are familiar with practical work in the laboratory and can apply the practical laboratory methods they have learnt to experimentally address a biomedical scientific question under supervision. In doing so, they act responsibly in accordance with the safety regulations for working in the laboratory and the professional handling of chemicals.
- Graduates of the degree programme are able to work on a defined biomedical problem, partly independently and partly as part of a team, and document and present their results in a scientifically correct manner.
- After completing the programme, graduates are able to take up a qualified professional activity in the field of biomedical research or industry and independently design further learning processes, e.g. as part of the continuing Master's programme in molecular medicine.
