Note

International fulltime Double Degree Master Program in cooperation with the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina

The international Master in Biomedical Sciences (IMBS) is a two-year, full-time, on-campus double degree programme in English. It consists of interdisciplinary modules and practical laboratory work and takes place at the partner university in Buenos Aires and at the University of Freiburg, concluding with two Master of Science degrees from both universities. The Master’s programme is designed for students with a Bachelor’s degree in Life or Natural Sciences. Modules provide interdisciplinary knowledge and current research standards in Natural Sciences, Medicine, Microsystems Technology, and Bioethics. Students study in an international, intercultural environment across two continents, learn Spanish and German, and receive tailored advice on administrative, study-related, career, and personal matters. The degree provides the basis for a biomedical, basic, or clinically oriented career in research and development in academia or industry, within the health, nutrition, and medical sectors of national or international institutions.

Statutes

Disclaimer
The versions of statutes with relevance to teaching and learning provided on this page by the Department of Legal Affairs (in particular admission and selection regulations as well as subject and examination regulations) are primarily for information purposes. This means that all amendments subsequently agreed upon by the University Senate have been integrated into the respective text of the original statutes; in the case of the examination regulations for bachelor's and master's degree programmes, this generally relates to extracts of the respective examination regulations (framework examination regulations, subject-specific provisions, and appendices).
The greatest care has been taken in writing these versions. Nevertheless, it cannot be entirely ruled out that errors may have occurred. Consequently, it is solely the officially announced statutes and statute amendments that are legally binding, i.e. as published in the Amtlichen Bekanntmachungen der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg im Breisgau [de] or, up to the year 2000, in the official gazette of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
