Chemistry is at the root of all biological processes, and in areas ranging from the development and use of medicines for disease management to food safety and sustainability, it all starts with an understanding of the chemical and biological mechanisms at play. The Master’s programme in Chemical Biology at RUC lays the foundation for understanding the role chemistry plays in biological processes, and how chemical tools are employed to study, understand, and regulate these processes.
In this interdisciplinary programme, you will learn to approach biological questions and problems from a chemical perspective by applying chemical tools, methods, and analyses to study, evaluate and regulate biological systems. 真人线上娱乐 work with the latest scientific discoveries emerging from the field of Chemical Biology, together with advanced experimental methods and instruments. Therefore, you will learn concepts and develop skills at the forefront of areas such as organic chemistry, spectroscopy, eukaryotic cell biology, proteomics, and metabolomics. You will also receive training in good experimental practice (GxP) and data analysis, enabling you to perform high quality experiments and evaluate complex data sets.
After completing of this programme, you will have the knowledge and scientific skills required to make a significant contribution to the development and production of medicines, drug delivery systems, and other health and biotechnology related products. Furthermore, you will develop a practical skillset that enables you to work seamlessly with chemical and biological researchers in their respective laboratory settings.
In this programme, you can choose to specialise in Chemistry in biological systems, Protein properties & function or Omics.
As a student in Chemical Biology, you will become part of the Department of Science and Environment, giving you the opportunity to work closely with expert researchers from the disciplines of chemistry, biology, and physics. This interdisciplinarity is uniquely found in the natural sciences programmes at 真人线上娱乐 University and makes for a vibrant study environment that prepares you for the many professional challenges you will meet in a wide variety of modern companies and research groups.
As Chemical Biology is a relatively small programme, you will have close contact with researchers and supervisors and ample access to state-of-the-art equipment, giving you the perfect setting to pursue your own scientific interests in collaboration with your fellow students. In addition to time spent in the labs and classrooms, you will also have the opportunity to attend events, such as the night café (Natcafé), and participate in activities, such as student organised board game nights.
As a graduate in Chemical Biology, your academic profile and skill set will be attractive to the pharmaceutical, biotech, health, and food sectors, in which your role could involve research, development, production, and control. You will have a unique skillset to work in interdisciplinary settings conducting tasks, such as chemical synthesis and analysis, assays, and biophysical characterization. There are career opportunities in the public and private sector, education, and consultancy. Some of our graduates stay at RUC or go to other universities to carry out PhD studies.
Here are some examples of positions held by previous graduates:
Du former selv din uddannelse ved at specialisere dig inden for:
Here you will learn about the important role proteins play in biological processes and gain an understanding of the factors that govern their function, and how to study and regulate their behaviour.
Chemistry in biological systems is where you will learn how life works from a chemical perspective and how we can use chemistry to regulate biology.
Medicinal Chemistry, where you will learn how drugs are made and how they interact with biological systems.

Du kan v?lge at bruge et semester p? at rejse ud med din uddannelse. Enten i praktik hos en af vores partnervirksomheder eller hos en virksomhed, som du selv finder frem til. Du afpr?ver dine kompetencer, faglige og processuelle, i et job, f?r v?rdifulde kontakter og bliver klogere p?, om det er en fremtidig karriere for dig. Du kan ogs? v?lge at tage et semesters udveksling p? et partneruniversitet i udlandet, hvor du kan f? internationalt udsyn, erfaring og netv?rk.
Du bliver en del af et st?rkt fagmilj?, hvor du er t?t p? forskerne, i dialog om alt fra faglige problemstillinger, mulige metoder og teorier, veje til at skabe nye indsigter og dine ?nsker til faglig retning for din kandidatuddannelse. Du bliver en del af et socialt milj? typisk centreret i én bygning p? campus, hvor forskere og studerende arbejder d?r om d?r. Du kommer til at studere inden for universitetets projektform, hvor identifikation af en problemstilling, dybdeg?ende analyser, valg og implementering af metodisk tilgang, samt opstilling af en st?rkt teoretisk ramme er dit ansvar under faglig vejledning fra en forsker. Du kommer til at deltage i en r?kke kurser, som udvider dine metodiske og teoretiske viden. I l?bet af et semester vil du opstille et v?sentligt problem inden for dit fag og udvikle viden til at fremstille videnskabelige argumenter for l?sningsmulighed(er). Du f?r konkret erfaring med den hele videnskabelige proces.
Universitetet er samlet p? ét campus. Her er multibaner, fodboldbane, discgolf-bane, naturstier langs s?, vandl?b og marker, tr?ningscenter, innovationsv?rksteder, kantine og biograf. Vores f?lles samlingssted hedder StudenterHuset RUC, hvor der er studenterdrevet café og lounge. B?de udend?rs og indend?rs arbejder vi med at g?re campus s? b?redygtigt som muligt. Vi har blandt andet nedsat energiforbruget med 38 procent over de sidste 5 ?r og oml?gger til vild natur p? vores udearealer.
