About the Program
Biology is the science of life and living organisms. It describes and examines manifestations of living organisms, their inner processes, and their interrelationships. In this highly diverse science, botany, zoology or microbiology are considered the classic subfields, while modern subfields include such disciplines as behavioral research, genetics, immunobiology or ecology. Moreover, many fields of biology, e.g. biochemistry, biomedicine or agrobiology, are linked to other natural sciences. In this degree program students are first given the fundamentals in all subfields of biology as well as in the natural sciences physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Parallel to the above, students are given a steady flow of practical exercises, which develop their competencies in working independently in laboratories. Bonn's teaching and research emphasis is on organismic biology, the plant sciences, neurobiology, molecular biotechnology, molecular biomedicine and microbiology. During their studies, students have the possibility to prioritize one of these areas. Students can also complement their professional training by acquiring skills such as working with specialist literature and the presentation of scientific results.
