Interdisciplinary Sciences Bachelor

Where Chemistry, Physics and Biology meet

Many rapidly developing research areas, such as physical chemistry, biophysics, biochemistry, and nanotechnology, fall somewhere between the classical subjects of chemistry, physics, and biology. This is why today more and more specialists with solid basic training in several sciences are in demand.

Credits ECTS: 180
Language of instruction: German

Structure:

At the start of the Bachelor’s degree programme students select either a physical-chemical or biochemical-physical direction. The first two years cover the fundamentals of natural sciences, mathematics and computer science. From the second year onwards, students compile their own individual curricula from a wide range of electives in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, computer science, earth sciences, and environmental sciences. Lectures are supplemented by laboratory practicals. Students write a Bachelor’s thesis on a current area of research to further develop their independent research skills.

Biochemical-physical direction:

- Basic courses in mathematics/natural sciences (focusing on chemistry and biology)

- Practical laboratory training, Electives

- Bachelor's thesis

Physical-chemical direction:

- matics/natural sciences (focusing on physics and physical chemistry)

- Practical laboratory training, Electives

- Bachelor's thesis
