The Bachelor's degree course in Molecular Biology is scientifically oriented and provides a fundamental education in biology and natural sciences. The focus is on a broad basic knowledge in the fields of cell biology/genetics, microbiology/biotechnology, human biology, ecology and biodiversity, botany/zoology, animal and plant physiology, neuro- and developmental biology, bioinformatics as well as the basics in the subjects of chemistry, physics, programming and mathematics/biostatistics. The wide-ranging theoretical and practical training serves as the basis for entry into our subject-specific Master's degree course in Biology in one of the four specializations.
The first four semesters with 16 basic modules, each consisting of lectures and practicals/exercises, make up the core curriculum. In the third year, students deepen their biological knowledge in one or two academic fields in two advanced practical trainings with seminars and two modules with theoretical courses. The company or research internship as well as the freely selectable non-biological subject serve to orient and expand the professional field. At the end of the course, a 9-week research activity with a written thesis - the Bachelor's thesis - is on the agenda.
Es wird empfohlen, sich in jedem Fall vor Beginn des Studiums über dessen Inhalte und Anforderungen zu informieren. Neben den gedruckten Fachinformationen, die über die zentrale Studienberatung (Studierenden Service Center, SSC) oder den Fachbereich Biologie erhältlich sind, bieten sich die an der Universität stattfindenden Informationsveranstaltungen wie z.B. Studieninformationstag (Ende Mai in jedem Jahr), Tag der Biologie (in jedem ungeraden Jahr) und Studium und Beruf (Februar/März in jedem Jahr) an. Außerdem kann mit den Studienfachberaterinnen und Studienfachberatern des Fachbereichs Biologie ein individuelles Beratungsgespräch geführt werden. Schließlich können durch den Besuch von Vorlesungen des „Schnupperstudiums“ RPTU Zero und Gespräche mit Fachstudierenden, insbesondere den Mitgliedern des Fachschaftsrats Biologie, Eindrücke bzw. weitere Informationen über das Biologiestudium gesammelt werden.
