University of Heidelberg
speciality: Biological Sciences

The Molecular Biology course at Heidelberg University was demanding but incredibly rewarding. The lab sessions were particularly engaging and helped me apply the theoretical concepts learned in class. The professor’s passion for the subject was inspiring, though some of the lecture materials could have been better organized.

I joined my university for a course in translational medical research. The courses offered by the university were amazing and helped me explore various research fields. This course also offered me the opportunity to meet a lot of new people from different backgrounds and research interests and encouraged scientific dialogue between us. It was a very good learning experience for me and I would recommend it to everyone!

I study Molecular Biotechnology M.Sc. at Heidelberg University and I have done the same study as B.Sc. in Heidelberg. The lectures and seminars in both bachelor and master are of very high quality. In the bachelor, all necessary skills in biology, chemistry, physics and maths are thought that is necessary to understand the research field and prepare you for the practical work in the lab. The master gives great opportunities to focus on a specific field of interest, to do many internships and to go abroad. One has to attend lectures and internships in the fields of pharmaceutical research, biophysical chemistry and bioinformatics. One of the three fields is chosen as a major, meaning that one attends more sessions in that field and writes the final thesis in it. The only thing I miss in the study is that opportunities to work in the industry are not communicated so well. In general it would be helpful to get more information about future job perspectives.
