Biochemistry and Cell Biology

Program Overview

Biochemistry is the study of molecules and chemical processes in living organisms, while Cell Biology is concerned with the structure and physiology of cells, their components, and interactions with the environment. The two fields are combined in one comprehensive, English-taught degree program, which will give you a broad understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that form the basis of life, including the principles of inheritance and gene expression. This allows BCCB graduates to address in their careers important problems in today's society, be it by basic or by applied research, for example in the areas of biomedicine, biotechnology, or molecular biology. For this, the BCCB program at Constructor University provides not only the theoretical background, but also substantial practical training. Students are, furthermore, involved in hands-on research during their studies. How competitive: Constructor admits holistically, with no minimum grade and no required subjects, and says IB applicants with 34 to 45 points have been the most successful. Applications for fall 2027 open on 1 October 2026: early action until 1 February 2027, then rolling admissions until 31 July 2027. If your diploma does not give direct access to a German university, Constructor may ask for the SAT or ACT before you enroll. Teaching is in English; an English A grade of 6 or 7 proves your English.
