The MSc program in Biology provides you with the opportunity to specialize in one or more of the areas of biology that you find most interesting. Because all students begin with a basic knowledge of biology, the teaching is at a high level right from the start. The Department of Biology at Aarhus University is popular among students and researchers from abroad. It is an active and international research environment.

The program has a progressive international perspective and is built upon some of the major scientific cornerstones: social science, medicine, and epidemiology.

MSc in Molecular Biology is a form part of our day-to-day lives wherever we are, and we constantly have to make decisions drawing on scientific and technological knowledge. Natural scientists tell us the significance of C02 in relation to climate change, and when we have to decide whether to reduce C02 emissions, we need to understand what sort of knowledge we have and on what it is based.

Aarhus University’s MSc in Medicinal Chemistry builds on a strong chemical foundation. It is a flexible study programme that can be tailored to the specific interests of the individual student while aligning with the interests of industry, research institutions, and the public sector. While the programme is customisable, there is an emphasis on the medicinal aspects of chemistry such as organic synthesis, chemical biology, drug delivery, biophysical chemistry and biomolecular structure and function.

The Master's degree program in Computational biomedicine at SDU has a focus on applied computational projects associated with the health sector and the biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

At SDU, we develop novel chemical methods that enable efficient preparation of important molecules with the potential to impact our life. Our scientists working in the area of medicinal chemistry study the structure and function of the most important biomolecules, including nucleic acids, peptides, proteins, sugars, and many other biomedically important molecules that play key roles in human health and disease.

Here, your competencies are expanded, just as more emphasis is placed on scientific and theoretical aspects, and you learn how research can be combined with practice. Through the study, you achieve increased independence, and you learn independently to put together a research course and to assess the quality of others' research.
