What you will study

In the first two years, the fundamentals of biology are taught in an interdisciplinary manner. The major modules Biology I-IV teach the basics of biology in groups of topics: From the structure of cells (I), to whole organisms (II), their biochemical functioning (III), and how they use their genetic information (IV). At the beginning of your studies you will also get an overview of the diversity and ecology of plants and animals during the identification exercises.
