Master’s Programme Biomedical Life Sciences
Are you fascinated by the complex mechanisms of the human body and interested in exploring how cellular and molecular processes can be studied in model organisms or using stem cells?
The Master's programme in Biomedical Life Sciences provides you with an in-depth understanding of cellular and molecular processes in health and disease – from bioinformatics and stem cell biology to immunology.
You will learn cutting-edge techniques such as single-cell analysis, 3D cell cultures, live cell imaging, and computer-based modeling, and apply them in hands-on lab courses in small groups and in individual research projects.

FAQ
You will work with modern laboratory techniques and digital analysis tools, gaining a deep understanding of cellular processes and disease mechanisms. In addition, the interdisciplinary curriculum offers the flexibility to pursue your own interests and to prepare specifically for a PhD or direct entry into a professional career.
The Master's programme offers a broad range of topics – from development to aging, from simple model organisms to humans, and from fundamental cellular mechanisms to disease models.
This programme provides excellent preparation for a career in research, technology, industry, , and biomedically relevant governmental sectors. It opens the door to positions in research and teaching in the field of biomedicine or related disciplines, as well as scientific roles in private companies, public institutions, and public administration (e.g. in medicine, healthcare, food safety, forensics, or research funding).

Environment & Climate
Anyone wishing to study the environment, biology, ecology, geography or sustainability, and who is interested in climate change, biodiversity and mountain regions, will find the right degree programme in this field at the University of Innsbruck.
Degree programmes in this field at the University of Innsbruck are closely linked to the Centre for Mountain Research (Research Area: Mountain Regions), one of the eight Centres of Excellence in the the university’s key research areas.
Here, researchers from various disciplines work together to investigate how mountain regions are changing as a result of climate change. Students can contribute to this research through courses, dissertations and projects.
Under the umbrella of the PEAK (Perspectives on Engagement, Accountability and Knowledge) , the University makes this expertise publicly available, and in the student-run Green Office, students can help shape sustainability on campus themselves. Once a year, the Green Office organises a Sustainability Week.
