    About Bachelor of Biology

    The Master of Science in Biology builds on a Bachelor's degree in Biology and further deepens your knowledge through a variety of specialised modules. Within a standard period of study of four semesters (two years), students study three focus subjects by attending lectures, seminars and practical courses. In the practical courses, which include six weeks of experimental work, students are directly involved in a current scientific project in one of the research groups of the faculty. Thereby students can choose from a wide variety of research fields, e.g., Biochemistry, Biophysics, Botany, Developmental Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Human Biology, Microbiology, Nature conservation, Neurobiology, Ecology, Cell Biology and Zoology. In addition, students can choose from “secondary” subjects that are offered by other faculties of the university, e.g., Bioorganic Chemistry, Human Genetics, Immunology and Medical Microbiology. According to the student’s interest, study programmes can be individually created. This is a special feature of the Master's programme of Biology at the University of Regensburg. Each student can individually create his or her study programme either aiming towards a broader spectrum or specialising on a specific field of research. The study programme is finalised by an independent research project, the Master's thesis, in which students work in depth on a project for nine month. The study programme includes three compulsory skills modules: Communication Skills, Job Skills and Research Skills. In these modules, students gain essential competences and are trained in scientific strategies and presentation of scientific results. After completion of a Master's degree, the trained skills and acquired competences will allow the successful students to work in a variety of different work environments in the life science field. They may pursue a doctoral research project within the graduate school of the faculty of the Regensburg International Graduate School of Life Sciences (RIGeL) or any other academic programme. There are also excellent job perspectives in the life science field outside academia that students with a Master’s degree can choose from. Our programme aims to shape the scientific education and personal competence of the students for their future work in any part of the life science or associated fields.
