Structure of the B.Sc. in Biology
The Bachelor of Biology programme is strongly influenced by the research focus of our Department of Biology:
Stress response and resilience of biological systems
Research in this area addresses major global challenges such as climate change and an ageing society. Our aim is to uncover resilience mechanisms on the entire scale of biological systems - from molecular processes to complex ecosystems - and to utilise them for a more resilient environment and society. In the two compulsory elective areas ‘Resilience of Ecosystems’ and ‘Cellular Resilience and Stress Response’, you will gain an insight into various areas of this research focus of the Department of Biology.
