Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

Numerous courses from the fields of biology, medicine and biophysics. In the compulsory elective area, there is the option of minoring in Computer Science.

Special features regarding teaching in the master's programmes

All molecular biology/biochemistry-oriented work groups are represented with research-focused internships in compulsory elective modules. In teaching, reference is made to the research focus of the department.

Special features regarding the international orientation

The Department of Biology has integrated a "mobility window" as an elective module into the curriculum for all courses of study. This facilitates the recognition of study achievements at other institutions during a mobility period. In the department, there are organized exchange programs with the Universidad de Costa Rica (for students in biology) and with the National Taiwan University (for master's students in biology & biochemistry). New Erasmus Cooperation Partnership with 7 partners from 5 countries (EcoSocMan) with joint online course and international summer school.

Exchange universities for stay abroads

Oulun Yliopisto, Oulu, Finnland; Åbo Akademi, Turku, Finnland; Universiteit Gent, Gent, Belgien

Special features regarding the equipment

The research-oriented specialisation modules in the department's Master's degree programmes allow for direct access to and training on numerous large-scale devices in the department, e.g. bioreactors, protein purification devices, spectrometers, fluorescence and electron microscopes, crystallisation chambers, sequencers, GC-MS, and much more. In addition, the Department of Biology has access to, among other things, core facility mass spectrometry and proteomics, the central electron microscopy facility and the bwForCluster JUSTUS 2.

Special features regarding research activities

All work groups focus on the research area of the department, namely stress response & resilience of biological systems. In teaching, reference is made to the research area of the department. There is a strong connection to the industrial environment, especially in the BioPharma Cluster South Germany.

Other special features
