Biology (Bachelor of Science)

About

The degree programme has a modular structure. Each module consists of a combination of different types of courses. Students are assessed continually throughout the programme; their results go towards the overall grade in the Bachelors examination. The degree programme is divided into a compulsory area and a compulsory elective area. In the first two years, students receive a broad and thorough grounding in modern biosciences, chemistry, mathematics and physics. The main emphasis here is on scientific training and gaining professional qualifications in biology. Students learn the latest methods and techniques that are currently used in the lab. Students have the opportunity to specialise in their third year. After completing a module on Research Conception, students prepare a Bachelors thesis. Having passed the Bachelors degree, graduates may proceed to a Masters degree programme and a doctorate.
