In the Biosciences application subject of the master's degree programme in Applied Computer Science, the scientific fundamentals are expanded through interdisciplinary courses (e.g. biophysical, bioorganic, and bioinorganic chemistry). The in-depth practical course in bioinformatics (BI 309) is dedicated to interdisciplinary research at the interface between computer science and the biosciences.

Specialisations in the bachelor's programme are carried over in the master's programme.
