The highly practical range of courses conveys comprehensive knowledge about modern molecular, cellular, organismal and population biology research topics. The high quality of teaching, which has won multiple awards, is ensured by: Work group for university teaching and teaching evaluation; Teaching committee. Modern didactic techniques (virtual microscopy, clicker system, online platforms such as Moodle, use of media, e-library) are used. Research placements are possible in excellent research associations. The courses are internationally compatible.

With their programme-specific focus, the courses offered by the various programmes include both a high proportion of internships and several individual student research projects integrated into the curriculum, which can be completed in excellent research networks. The master's degree programmes provide comprehensive, in-depth knowledge about modern molecular, cellular, organism, evolutionary biological and biomedical research topics. All courses have an explicit international focus.

Exchange opportunities with 136 universities around the world are available to students. In addition, research internships can be offered with a large number of international co-operation partners. The English-language Master's courses have resulted in a level of internationality of more than 35% in these degree courses. In the ERASMUS+ MEME degree programme, exchange between the Universities of Uppsala, Groningen, Montpellier , Harvard and Lausanne is institutionalised. Structured doctoral programme in English make it possible to pursue more advanced specialisations.

The faculty has very good and new equipment which provides numerous opportunities to teach current research methods in all phases of the course that go beyond the typical basic equipment. Modern (large-scale) devices are often available for teaching even in the early stages of studies. This enables the participating students to carry out the essential experiments themselves in practice. In addition, students have the opportunity to use more specialised and sophisticated devices themselves in many courses.

Focus areas are "from molecules to cells", "from cells to organisms", "from organisms to biodiversity". This is illustrated by joint projects: Synthetic Biology, Molecular Interaction of Organisms with their Environment, Neural Circuits, Biogenesis and Evolution. In addition to this, we have unique methodological and technological expertise: Bioimaging, ultrastructure research, analysis of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and metabolites. Cooperation partner: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Medicine and Geosciences, MPIs Biochemistry, Neurobiology and Biological Intelligence, Helmholtz Centre Munich, etc.

The faculty of Biology is part of the ultra-modern Life Science Campus in Großhadern/Martinsried. It offers physical and scientific proximity to the faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy, to the new Biomedical Centre of the faculty of Medicine, as well as the university clinics, the Gene Centre of the LMU, the Max Planck Institutes for Biochemistry and Neurobiology, the Helmholtz Centre in Munich as well the Bavarian Innovation Centre (IZB). The special environment of Biology at the LMU Munich allows for content and specialisations are to be offered that are not available in this form at any other German location.
