About the Program
The Biology program at the University of Vechta deliberately sets a counterpoint to the common biology education: While most universities define their focus on molecular biology or biotechnology, the lecturers in Vechta place great emphasis on teaching natural, multifaceted biology. The training and research focuses are Organismic Biology, Biodiversity, Nature Conservation, Education for Sustainable Development & Ecology. The study covers all living beings: viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi, plants, animals - up to humans. Knowledge of biodiversity is just as important a focus as learning about life processes and networking knowledge in the sense of ecological thinking and action. Excursions are essential. Modern aspects of evolutionary research, genetics and biotechnology are also taken into account.
