The Master 2.0 degree “Molecular Sciences and Simulation” ...
|
…is unique because…
|
… it enables an early start in research.
… it stimulates scientific curiosity and creativity.
… it provides early hands-on experience and participation in high profile
research projects.
… it offers an interdisciplinary education in an interface area with high growth
potential.
… it offers hands-on research skills in a multicultural context by completing a
research internship at one of our international partner institutions at an
early stage of education.
… it focuses on the molecular understanding of chemical reactions and
biochemical processes.
... iMOS is research-oriented, interdisciplinary, and multicultural by design.
|
|
…has international collaborations with…
|
... well-known institutiones, e.g. in France, Great Britain, India, Israel, Japan,
Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland, U.S.A. (research placement of 2-3
months abroad at one of 19 globally leading institutions in the area of
“Molecular Sciences and Simulation”)
|
|
…deals with research issues such as …
|
How can laser-spectroscopic and microscopic methods optimally
contribute to the in-depth understanding of chemical reactions and
biological processes? Does water, as the “matrix of life”, play an active
role in protein folding or in enzymatic reactions (e.g. relevant for the
causes of Alzheimer’s disease)? The degree program offers a toolbox full
of experimental and theoretical methods.

…combines …
|
... topics and issues from the traditional disciplines of chemistry and physics
with a focus on modern laser spectroscopy and microscopy, computer
simulation, and quantum chemistry.

... English.
|
|
… is suitable for graduates in the subjects ...
|
... chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, mathematics, and engineering.
|
|
The perfect applicant is ...
|
... keen to perform interdisciplinary research in the areas of “chemistry-
physics-biology-applied mathematics”. She/he is a bachelor-level
graduate in one of these subjects, or an engineer with a related degree. A
sound knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, physics, and English are
crucial. The students are driven by their interest for a deeper molecular
understanding of (bio)chemical and (bio)physical processes but do not
wish to focus on chemical synthesis and “bench chemistry”.

Students aquire…
|
... competence in problem solving, and in methodological application of
expert knowledge in an interdisciplinary context. The goal is to provide
"hands on" experience in both, cutting-edge science and modern
techniques, at an early stage.
They will learn how to develop and solve scientific questions by employing
suitable theoretical and experimental methods and how to work effectively
in international, mulitcultural and interdisciplinary teams.

|
… opens careers to
graduates …
|
... in research and industry. Following the Master's degree, graduates can
either pursue a 3 or 4 year doctorate program or mov on with a career in
industry. The areas of optical and information technologies (e.g. lasers,
microscopy, data mining, medical applications) as growths markets are
particularly attractive for IMOS-graduates. Students of today are the top
researchers of tomorrow. and future leaders in industry.

Incorporation of iMOS into the international education strategy of RUB
The iMOS program is supported by the Master 2.0 program of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum as one of 8 master's programs. “Master 2.0” is the quality seal of the Ruhr-Universität for master’s degrees that optimally prepare their students for a career in science. Master 2.0 students work in interdisciplinary teams of scientists right at the forefront of research.
The concept of the iMOS master's program ideally fit the requirements for obtaining the quality seal "Master 2.0": iMOS is research-oriented, interdisciplinary and international.
