Research-oriented study programs

Our research-oriented range of study programs comprises a broadly based Bachelor's program with a standard period of 6 semesters and two Master's programs, each with a standard period of 4 semesters. The master's degree you choose after completing your Bachelor's degree depends on your personal interests.

Moreover, the Dual Major Bachelor's program offers the possibility to study biology in combination with another subject. As a polyvalent degree program, it can be combined not only with a teaching-oriented Master's program, but also with a research-oriented Master's program.

In this research-oriented Bachelor's program, you will receive a broad education in the diverse subdisciplines of biology. The degree qualifies you both for entry into a profession and for further Master's studies.
