Why study iMOS?
Suresh Kondati Natarajan, 23, India
IMOS fitted in all aspects to the master program that I dreamed about, mainly with it's Mobility, orientation towards research, wonderful course structure and financial freedom. The initial two months has been very competitive and feels like just two weeks. We are getting exposed to the theoretical and simulation techniques that will be needed for the Second year's research oriented International program and master thesis. I am really feeling happy for choosing this course as it is just the only one of it's kind available.

The iMOS programme is very demanding but it’s also really enjoyable. I don’t believe I could have found anywhere better to do it.

The Master 2.0 degree “Molecular Sciences and Simulation” ...
| …is unique because … | … it enables an early start in research. … it offers an interdisciplinary education in an interface area with high growth potential. … it offers international experience in an early phase of the education. … focuses on the molecular understanding of chemical reactions and biochemical processes. iMOS is research-oriented, interdisciplinary and intercultural by design. |
|---|---|
| …has international collaborations with | e.g. France, Great Britain, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Switzerland, U.S.A. (research placement of 2-3 months abroad at one of 18 international, globally leading institutions in the area of “Molecular Sciences and Simulation”). |
| deals with research issues such as … | Do laser-spectroscopic and microscopic methods contribute to the detailed 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 programme offers a full toolbox of experimental and theoretical methods for these and other issues. |
| combines … | the traditional disciplines of chemistry and physics with a focus on modern laser spectroscopy and microscopy, computer simulation and quantum chemistry. |
| … is conducted in | English. |
| … is suitable for graduates in the subjects ... | chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, mathematics and engineering. |
| The perfect applicant is | very interested in the interdisciplinary interface of “chemistry- physics-biology-applied mathematics”. These can be very good bachelor graduates in these subjects, but also engineers with a related degree. A sound knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, physics and English are crucial for a successful application. |
| … opens careers to graduates … | as chemists and physicists. The area of optical technologies (e.g. laser, microscopy in medical technology) in the chemical industry as a growth market is particularly attractive for IMOS-graduates. |
