7 Free Master’s in Biochemistry in Germany

Biochemistry is the bridge between biology and chemistry; it is fundamental to all biological processes and is practised in a wide range of biological fields.

Currently, almost all the states in Germany do not charge tuition fees even to non-EU students. International students can therefore take advantage of this opportunity to earn a free master's degree in Biochemistry, in English, from one of its tuition-free universities. International students get to study for free, learn a new language and also have the opportunity to travel around Europe during the semester breaks.

7) University of Göttingen---MSc in Biochemistry and Microbiology

The Master's programme "Microbiology and Biochemistry" is held in English and offers project-based training in microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular plant sciences. The curriculum comprises lectures with initial practical courses and consecutive individual research projects applying high-end technology. A variety of bacterial, fungal and plant model organisms are used.
