General information for the degree programme

During the first three semesters, the programme consists of modules primarily dedicated to the basics of biology such as botany, zoology, microbiology, genetics, and ecology as well as science including chemistry, mathematics, physics, or computer science, and a foreign language course. During the fourth and fifth semester, biologically oriented modules predominate. At the end of the programme, a research module and the Bachelor´s thesis provide the opportunity for specialisation. About 50 % of the curriculum consists of practical courses.
This course of study particularly addresses applicants, with good basic knowledge of the natural sciences as well as English and who enjoy experimental work and observation. Furthermore, the programme is integrated into an active research and study environment (both on and off campus), which enables students to choose their individual programme focus.
