Study program structure and content
In the first semesters, students receive a fundamental education in key subjects such as biology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics, complemented by data sciences (biomathematics, biostatistics, and bioinformatics) and an introduction to scientific work. This provides you with tailored preparation for three highly relevant specialization areas:
- Biomedical Systems: Explore diseases and develop new treatments!
- Digital Biology: The future of biology is digital!
- Bioengineering & Biofabrication: Biology as a toolkit for innovative technologies!
Bioengineering & Biofabrication: Biology as a toolkit for innovative technologies! Throughout the entire program, great emphasis is placed on hands-on experience through laboratory and computer-based exercises, enabling students to train in cutting-edge experimental, analytical, and computational methods.
An important pillar of the program is research-based learning modules, which introduce students to practical scientific work in all its facets – such as literature review, developing research ideas and corresponding experiments, as well as scientific writing and presenting. This way, you will be well prepared for your bachelor's thesis as the end of your B.Sc. studies – before seamlessly transitioning into the master’s program with us.

A highlight of the program: excursions offer the opportunity for hands-on experience on site.

A large part of the course consists of lectures held in the lecture hall
... and accompanying exercises. In these, the course content is reviewed, discussed, and sometimes applied in smaller groups.
Practical laboratory sessions form an important part of the program. Laboratory practicums must be prepared through independent study and require students to submit a lab report afterwards.

The reading load for Technical Biology students is not as high as in the humanities and social sciences, but reading scientific texts is an important part of independent study.
