Biochemistry (Bachelor of Science)

About

In Hannover, Biochemistry is offered as a stand-alone degree programme by Leibniz UniversitÃ¤t Hannover in collaboration with Hannover Medical School (MHH) with the involvement of the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover Foundation (TiHo). The programme focuses on biochemistry and molecular biology, which are founded on a broad basic knowledge of chemistry: general, analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry, as well as mathematics, physics and biology are all compulsory subjects. Freely selectable periods of practical training, designed as courses, make up more than half of the programme. In a freely selectable area of optional courses, students gain advanced specialist knowledge (e.g. laboratory practicals), also in several areas of biomedical research. Students may also select modules outside the discipline. Orientation of the course content to the current state of science also enables graduates of the Bachelors degree programme to gain a professional qualification. It also provides them with the ideal requirements for pursuing a Masters degree programme, particularly in Biochemistry, Biomedicine or Life Science. The reference to professional practice is particularly reflected in areas where the implementation of theoretical concepts is broached in practical training.

Students of Biochemistry should have an enquiring mind and should enjoy experimenting; they should also not be frightened of handling chemicals, and should possess a certain degree of manual dexterity. It is also advantageous in this intense study programme for students to be willing to work independently, under pressure and in a team.
English language skills are required from the fifth semester at the latest. Optional and compulsory elective courses are offered in English.

Career

Biochemists work at higher education institutions and research institutes, where they conduct basic experimental research and pass on their knowledge in university teaching. Graduates work in research, chemical analysis, R&D, production and management in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in the public sector. They also engage in freelance work, e.g. as science journalists or patent lawyers.
