Matter to Life is an interdisciplinary study program spanning physics, chemistry, biology, materials sciences and related sub-fields. It is led and taught by experts in the field and focused on questions including: How do we get from molecules to cellular systems to decision making processes? The program is taught entirely in English and targets an international student body.

The 5-year MSc to PhD Direct Track Program welcomes applications from students with bachelor/undergraduate degrees. For the initial 2-year Master’s phase of Matter to Life you can choose between our teaching universities who offer different scientific foci: University of Göttingen for Complex Systems and Biological Physics or Heidelberg University for Molecular Systems Chemistry and Engineering.

Upon completion of the master phase, you continue your research during the 3-year PhD phase in the laboratory of any Matter to Life Faculty member.
