Master's Thesis and Defense Module
In the Master’s Thesis Module, you will finally bring together everything you have learned throughout your studies. Over the course of six months, you will work independently—yet under supervision—on your own research question within the research focus of your chosen working group.
This is your opportunity to apply the practical skills you developed in the subject and laboratory modules, supported by your theoretical understanding and scientific background knowledge.
At the end of this period, you will write your master’s thesis, drawing on the writing, design, and analytical skills you gained in the Scientific Competency module. The Project Proposal has already prepared you to approach your research with purpose and independence.
As practiced in the Subject and Laboratory Modules, you will present and discuss your results during the master’s defense, marking the completion of your Master of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine program.
Important: To begin your master’s thesis, you must have successfully completed all other modules.
You can start the Master's Thesis Module only after registering with the Examination Office and receiving the corresponding confirmation.
Please note: The master's thesis can also be completed in industry or abroad—however, special rules apply in this case (see exams/documents).
