A well-founded technical education based on state-of-the-art information about biology serves as the basis for a successful professional career; All modules provide research-based information right from the start; A large number of courses offer practical lab activities right from the start; The acquisition of additional skills (soft skills) is integrated into the curriculum.

Strong research focus through direct student participation in current issues and research work as part of the working groups; The curriculum can be tailored individually to place particular emphasis on research-oriented, practical material; Project management is also taught.

Major focus on international student exchange through Erasmus with 115 places/year and 32 exchange universities; a mobility window is provided for this purpose in the 5th semester of the Bachelor's degree programme, in which a semester abroad can be ideally integrated into the course of study.; Double-degree programme in the Master's programme with São Paolo, Brazil (SãMBio); further exchange opportunities with India and Japan as well as a "free mover" or through numerous international contacts of the work groups; international doctorate programmes; central contact person for matters of student mobility.
