Biology Bachelor

A New Understanding of Life

Over the last few decades biology has developed its natural history approach into that of an experimental discipline which demands not only an insight into the structures and processes of life but also the skills to deploy research-specific methods and equipment.

Credits ECTS: 180
Language of instruction: German

Structure:

At the start of the degree programme students select either a biological or a chemical direction. Their training in the fundamentals of mathematics and natural sciences is weighted accordingly, in favour of either Biology or Chemistry. In the third year students select a number of their own courses with an eye to the future Master’s degree programme specialisation.

Biological study direction:

- General basic courses: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry for Biologists, General Biology

- Specific subjects: Systematic Biology, Ecology, Neurosciences, Population and Evolutionary Biology

- Practicals in Chemistry and Biology

Chemical study direction:

- General basic courses: Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry for Chemists, General Biology

- Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry, together with students from the Chemistry programme

- Practicals in Chemistry and Biology

Third year: free choice of courses

Unconditional transfer to:
