Presentation

The joint international study programme provides students with a strong multidisciplinary education in the fields of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neurosciences and immunology. They have the opportunity to experience a multidisciplinary research training in latest methods in experimental and computational biology with multicultural approach of scientific communities across the borders.

Strengths

International dimension

Tri-national diploma with the University of Strasbourg and the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz

Innovative pedagogy

Multidisciplinary and multicultural approach as well as small class sizes & individual mentoring. Students use state-of-the art experimental and computational facilities.

International Master of Science in Biomedicine (IMBM) or Master in Molecular and Computational Biomedicine (MMCB)?

IMBM: A joint international programme offered by three universities (University of Luxembourg, University of Strasbourg, and University of Mainz), with students studying across different campuses over four semesters.

MMCB: A two-year, campus-based programme at the University of Luxembourg, with a balanced integration of experimental and computational biomedicine.

IMBM: Provides a multidisciplinary education with specialised focus areas, including cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neuroscience, and immunology, along with research training in experimental and computational biology.

MMCB: Focuses on a broad understanding of biomedicine, combining experimental and computational techniques throughout the program.

IMBM: Each semester has a unique focus:

  • Semester 1: “Omics” at the University of Luxembourg.
  • Semester 2: “Cellular and Integrated Pharmacology and Vascular and Metabolic Diseases” at the University of Strasbourg.
  • Semester 3: “Neurodegenerative and Immunological Pathologies” at the University of Mainz.
  • Semester 4: Research internship in national or international public or private laboratories.

MMCB: Divided into four semesters, with the first two focused on coursework (lectures, experimental labs, and computational labs), and the final two months dedicated to individual research projects.

IMBM: A cross-border programme, with students rotating through three different universities, gaining exposure to diverse scientific perspectives and networking opportunities.

MMCB: Entirely based at the University of Luxembourg, offering a more localized, campus-based experience.

IMBM: Provides specialised tracks with a stronger focus on specific biomedical disciplines such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and immunology

MMCB: Offers a more balanced approach, with equal emphasis on both experimental and computational biomedicine.

IMBM: Provides a research internship during the last semester, allowing students to work in both public and private laboratories, offering practical experience in various biomedical fields.

MMCB: Focuses on individual research projects during the final semester.
