The minor research project is preferably conducted in a different discipline of Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences (BPS). For the second research project you are advised to go abroad to gain international experience. Guidance and advice about studying abroad is provided by the International Office of the Faculty of Science.

Other compulsory components are: a literature study, including writing an essay or thesis, attending one advanced lecture series in disciplines of Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences, attending the Scientific Conduct course, and attending at least ten colloquia presented by other master's students in Bio-Pharmaceutical Sciences. 

In addition, students are required to complete a portfolio on advanced academic skills and career orientation by attending symposia, workshops and career events. For the optional component, the Master's students can choose from additional courses or work placements.
