The master‘s degree in biochemistry, which builds on a bachelor‘s degree in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or molecular biotechnology, prepares students for jobs in modern research centers and enterprises in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and the life sciences. Graduates have the in-depth specialist knowledge necessary for professional practice, are able to grasp interdisciplinary contexts and are prepared for highly skilled jobs at teaching and research institutions as well as in industry and government agencies. They are also ready for further qualification in national and international graduate programs.
The Biochemistry (Master‘s) is taught in English and is implemented at a cross-faculty level. It is strongly oriented towards interdisciplinarity, internationality and research. The degree program comprises the focal points of "Technical Biochemistry" and "Chemistry of Biological Systems" and is complemented by associated cross-sectional modules.

The integrated German-French degree program in chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry and Food Chemistry offers German students the opportunity to study for two years at a French partner university. French students of the partner universities have the opportunity to spend one year in Dresden. After successful completion of the integrated degree program, the French degree (Diplôme d'ingénieur) and the German degree (Master of Science) are awarded.
An integrated degree program has advantages compared to an ERASMUS stay. Apart from the longer duration of the stay abroad, the most important aspect is that the studying process is coordinated between the partners. This makes the recognition of all academic credits possible and as a result does not prolong the duration of  studying. For German students, this means that the Master of Science can be completed in five years.

From the winter semester 2018/19 onwards, in the shape of the Master’s program "Computational Modeling and Simulation", Technische Universität Dresden has for the first time provided a research-oriented educational profile supported by three institutions, pooling the knowledge from seven subject areas.
The cross-sectional degree program is held in English and taught jointly by the Faculty of Computer Science, the Faculty of Mathematics and the Center for Molecular and Cellular Bioengineering. Additional course content is supplied by the Faculties of Economics, Medicine, Psychology and Mechanical Engineering.

The master’s program "Organic and Molecular Electronics" which is taught in English and is unique worldwide, combines future-oriented teaching and research from different disciplines at the highest international level. The interdisciplinary degree program comprises practice-oriented teaching content from physics, chemistry, electrical engineering and materials science for the education of specialists in the field of organic electronics. The close cooperation with industrial partners allows for a strongly practice-oriented education.

TU Dresden (IHI Zittau & Faculty of Biology) and Senckenberg (Görlitz & Dresden) have realized a joint, international (english) Master program.

The MSc course Organismic and Molecular Biodiversity (M.Sc.) enhances students’ skills in describing and monitoring biodiversity, molecular and morphological aspects of biodiversity research, applied ecology and practical conservation at both national and international level. Understanding and safeguarding biodiversity is one of the key challenges of our time. Thus, scientific and societal interest in biodiversity has been growing consistently, and novel methods in biodiversity science are continuously opening up new research avenues. However, the increased need for biodiversity research and monitoring is not matched by the availability of trained personnel. Successful graduates will be well placed to take up occupations in:

• Natural-history museums
• Planning authorities, in conservation biology and/or monitoring
• Environmental consultancies
• Governments and administrations, developing biodiversity policies and regulations
• Universities and research institutions.

By pursuing a Master of Science programme at the Faculty of Mathematics at the TU Dresden, prospective students have the chance to hone their ability to think critically and to further enhance their mathematical knowledge base. The programme allows for great flexibility allowing students to set up a personalised curriculum where they may choose from a variety of Master's level courses. In addition, each student can specialise in one of the following areas:

• Algebra, Geometry and Discrete Structures

• Analysis and Stochastics

• Numerics, Optimisation, Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing

The degree programme is complemented by the choice of a minor subject from the broad range provided by the TU Dresden.

Moreover, the programme is internationally oriented with lectures held in English and exams in English or German language.

The Applied Mathematics MSc programme is designed for students who would not only like to further their mathematical knowledge but also apply it to real-world problems. The programme is internationally oriented and lectures and exams are held in English and German. Students will specialise in partial differential equations both from a theoretical and applied point of view, including their use as a means to model real-world phenomena. Furthermore, students will learn how to implement models numerically and how to run simulations. By design, students receive training in topics at the hub of applied mathematics and other natural sciences thus further developing their problem solving skills. Dresden's research landscape offers numerous opportunities for this. We support students in finding suitable internships that may complement their studies and arrange topics for master's theses that can be worked on in collaboration with, for instance, university research institutions or local companies. 
In addition, students may structure their studies in Applied Mathematics according to the specifications of the ECMI – Educational Programme Mathematics for Industry and acquire the ECMI certificate as a diploma supplement.

Upon enrolling for an MSc in Financial Mathematics, prospective students specialise in mathematics and its applications in economics and finance. The programme is internationally oriented with lectures and exams conducted in English and German language, respectively. Students will receive high-level training in the areas of statistics, financial mathematics, actuarial mathematics as well as optimisation, and may choose between business administration or economics as a minor.

By design, the programme prepares  students for future employment in the economic sector such as, for instance, in the insurance industry, in finance and accounting, in the credit industry or at opinion pollsters. 

The Master’s in Physics degree program is bilingual (English and German) in the teaching and in exams, with students choosing their preferred language.
The aim of the program is to deepen the insight into relationships between different branches of physics as well as into relationships with neighboring disciplines.
The cooperation with other scientific, technical and humanities disciplines in 10 minor subjects, each with several elective topics, guarantees a diverse range of options for acquiring a fundamental understanding of issues in another subject area and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary manner. In one of 6 fields of specialization in physics, students gain a complete overview of established knowledge, new developments, and unresolved problems. During the concluding one-year research phase, they acquire the ability to familiarize themselves with current questions relating to physics, devise and implement experiments or theoretical methods in this area, categorize the results, and draw conclusions for technical developments and the advancement of science.

The Master’s degree program in psychology: Human Performance in Socio-Technical Systems is interdisciplinary (access also for selected groups of non-psychologists) and internationally oriented (German and English seminars and lectures, worldwide announcement). It comprises modules on the psychology of work, personnel and traffic, as well as social and engineering psychology. There are also modules on teaching and learning in dynamic environments. Students learn how to design modern work systems and how to successfully solve complex questions regarding the optimization of human learning and action in socio-technical systems. The program is application-oriented and offers elective project work based on cooperation with numerous practice partners as well as a two-semester master's thesis seminar. The program is complemented by content from clinical psychology or cognitive-affective neuroscience. Thanks to broad psychological knowledge, familiarity with scientific methods and competence in abstraction and transfer, graduates are able - after an appropriate training period in professional practice - to master diverse and complex tasks in the area of psychology and its fields of application.
