Interdisciplinary Biomedicine at Bielefeld University is a four-semester Master of Science worth 120 credit points, starting in the winter semester. It draws on cooperation between the faculties of biology and physics and the Faculty of Technology, and is aimed at modern biomedical research. You get a research-strong setting, insight into current methods and questions in biomedicine, and the option to write your thesis with local clinics and medical institutes. The programme sits where research advances, such as fast genome sequencing, move into routine clinical diagnostics, with personalised medicine as the goal. You choose one of two profiles: Experimental Science, with molecular and cell biology analyses of the basis of disease, or Bioinformatics, which prepares you to analyse large and complex biomedical datasets. It suits graduates heading for biomedical research, including a doctorate.
Specialization
The program is divided into the following profile areas: 1. The Experimental Science profile places particular emphasis on molecular and cell biological analyses of disease-relevant fundamentals. 2. The Bioinformatics profile prepares students specifically for the evaluation of large and complex data sets in biomedical research.

What to prepare for your application to Interdisciplinary Biomedicine
The application documents must be submitted in due time to the Student Administration Office of Bielefeld University and contain:
The final certificate of a previous degree and the associated documents (transcript, transcript of records, diploma supplement, etc.), which provide information about the individual course of study, the modules completed, the achievements during the course and their assessments and about the individual professional profile of the completed course. If the university or professional academy at which the applicant obtained the previous degree does not issue such documents for the applicant, correspondingly meaningful documents must be submitted (e.g. performance records).
If no diploma from a previous degree is available, a preliminary final document and/or a current transcript of records or correspondingly meaningful documents will be submitted.
Proof of language proficiency (see language requirements).
