In the last half-century there have been remarkable advances in our knowledge of the chemistry of biological systems. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of biological systems is still in its infancy, and without such knowledge we cannot say that we truly understand how these systems operate and interact with their surroundings. Being able to accurately describe and predict the behaviour of biological systems and processes at the molecular level is the greatest scientific and technological challenge of the new millennium.

Biomolecular Science is the study of biological systems at the molecular level. Advances that have been made in understanding biomolecular processes have often depended on the collaborative efforts of biochemists, chemists and physicists. Our two-year Master in Biomolecular Sciences lies at the interface between biology, biophysics and biochemistry. The goal of this International program is to provide students with the fundamental knowledge and practical skills needed to excel in the rapidly changing interdisciplinary world of bio-related research. This is accomplished through an innovative curriculum that spans the boundaries between biology and chemistry and through exposure to research. In this way, the program is designed to attract and train students who are adaptable and active learners.
