Molecular Life Science

Life cannot be researched using a single discipline. Biomolecules have a physical structure and interact with each other in chemical reactions. In addition, molecular biology research generates large amounts of data that can only be interpreted with the help of bioinformatics and mathematical methods. The Molecular Life Science degree course takes all of this into account.

With us, you will begin your studies at one of the smallest state universities in Germany. This enables excellent study conditions. The good teaching quality is repeatedly confirmed by the CHE ranking. You will get to know each other quickly on the central campus.

You will have the opportunity to learn all relevant techniques and apply your knowledge of molecular life in a variety of practical courses during your Bachelor's degree. Right from the start, you will have to work independently and autonomously in the laboratory under supervision, which requires the appropriate physical skills. For your Bachelor's/Master's thesis, you will be involved in current research projects and work independently and autonomously in the laboratory.

The university has state-of-the-art laboratories for molecular medical research, including laboratories with a high security level for handling dangerous pathogens, high-performance computing clusters for bioinformatics and systems biology.

The course is geared towards medical research. Stem cell research, structural analysis, infection and inflammation research and other disciplines enable new approaches to therapies for emerging diseases. This means that you can later have a direct influence on this highly relevant social issue: Our health.

You start your studies in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. The old town is part of the UNSECO World Heritage Site and the beach on the Baltic Sea is only 20 km away. The infrastructural connections to Hamburg are also very good. From university sports and student theater to music (university choir, university orchestra, Pop Synphonics) and concerts: There is something for everyone in the cultural program.
