Molecular Systems Science and Engineering

Molecular Systems Science and Engineering is a newly established two-year full-time Master’s Program at the Heidelberg University. It aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to explore the complexity of molecular systems through the lens of Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science and the Molecular Life Sciences.

Molecular Systems Science and Engineering is a highly interdisciplinary research area and therefore requires the collaboration of many different fields, from Physics, Mathematics, and Materials Science to Chemistry and the Molecular Life Sciences. MSSE accepts students from all these different backgrounds and allows them to develop according to their interests through a modular course program and a broad variety of available modules.

The MSSE program has a focus on practical skills. Students learn to work with state-of-the-art tools from molecular systems and materials research and will be able to apply these skills to develop working solutions for application-oriented problems efficiently.

Complex problems require an intimate understanding of the subject matter but also a high level of creativity to find an optimal solution. The MSSE curriculum is designed to foster the ability of its students to apply their creativity, knowledge and laboratory experience to solve the complex problems of molecular systems and their engineering.

Excellence in Teaching and Research

The four core professors directing the program are part of the Cluster of Excellence 3D Matter Made to Order (3DMM2O), which is jointly carried by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Heidelberg University. In addition, many other courses and modules are either hosted by or are designed in cooperation with Principal Investigators of the 3DMM2O cluster.
