Molecular Medicine

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) – 1 field degree program


From molecules and cells through tissue, organs and vital organ systems to the entire human body and its diseases – these are the themes at the heart of the Molecular Medicine degree. And first and foremost is the question: How does the human body work and what are the molecular causes of disease?

This research-oriented degree program is at the interface of medicine and bioscience, and besides theoretical content also provides many practical skills in the fields of scientific work and molecular laboratory methods.
Academic calendar:

Winter Semester

Standard Period of Study:

8 semesters required for the full degree programme

Scope of services:

240 ECTS-Points for the full degree programme

Admission: First semester:

restrictive admissions (University): Selection procedure (30 places)

The goal of the degree program is to teach the knowledge, abilities, and skills necessary to conduct independent scientific work in biomedical research, development, diagnostics, and production. Graduates of the program should be capable of:
- formulating scientific questions in theoretical or clinical research independently and addressing them with modern methodology,
- linking content and questions of medicine with ways of thinking and working from the natural sciences,
- thinking beyond the bounds of individual disciplines and applying interdisciplinary knowledge to clinical questions,
- applying statistical procedures and models for describing life processes to questions of clinical and experimental medicine,
- illustrating scientific findings and concepts in written and oral form using medical terms and taking into account their ethical and legal background,
- with the goal of explaining the causes of illnesses on the molecular level through the methods of molecular biology and cell biology and using this knowledge to derive new possibilities for diagnostics, therapy, and prevention.


Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.

For study and examination regulations, see the "Statutes" section above.

    The OSA will give you a realistic preview of the content, procedures and requirements of the relevant field of study at the University of Freiburg. It also offers you the opportunity to test your own interests, ambitions and skills, and through an individual feedback to assess whether the appropriate field of study at the University of Freiburg fits you.

The tables with the results of the last selection processes allow you to see the assigned grade/number of points in the selection process which would have sufficed and what the waiting period would have been to secure admission. The assigned grade/number of points is based by subject on the average grade or weighted grades achieved in the German higher education entrance qualification, on test results and/or outcome of the selection interview, and also on professional or practical experience in the respective subject.
