Curriculum
The MSSE curriculum is highly interdisciplinary and is therefore designed to be modular while still offering the full range of topics relevant to the field of molecular systems science and engineering. During the first year of the program, the knowledge basis for successful practical work in the field is established, first with lectures featuring the basics of the different sub-fields and then with individualized specialization modules. Following a specialization path to completion ensures that students reach the state-of-the-art in the area and become fully competitive.
Study Schedule
The master includes a research phase (2nd year), consisting of a seminar, a study project in the scientific specialization, lab rotations and the Master thesis, where students acquire the ability to do independent research and to document and publish their own research work. They deepen their knowledge on scientific methods, lab skills, entrepreneurship and creativity, interdisciplinary thinking, gain experience in practical applications as well as important communication competences and the ability to work in teams.
