BSc Life Sciences Biology at Technical University of Munich

The aim of the degree program is a comprehensive understanding of systems – from the biomolecule to the ecosystem – and extensive methodological expertise. Biology remains at the center of the life sciences, which are considered the leading sciences of the 21st century. Biology is the study of living systems and integrates physical and chemical processes into a highly complex dynamic system that incorporates everything from the biochemistry of living cells to organs and organisms through to ecosystems. Taught at Weihenstephan (Freising).

What you will study

Attendance times are equally split between theory and the corresponding practice. Semesters 1 and 2 convey the scientific fundamentals (mathematics, physics, chemistry) complemented by organismic biology, cell biology, plant and fungal physiology and a module dealing with social aspects. Beginning in Semester 3, the biosciences dominate with microbiology and bioinformatics.
