Life Science

The goal of the program is to provide a solid and challenging academic education with special expertise in modern biomolecular research fields, based on solid technical foundations in both chemistry and biology. Graduates of this program acquire a qualification profile relevant to modern pharmaceutical research. Those seeking further academic specialization are also qualified to pursue a doctorate in biology or a life science-oriented area of ​​chemistry. Through this solid foundational training in chemistry and biology, students absorb the specific ways of thinking of both disciplines during their undergraduate studies. In other words, they grow up scientifically bilingual.

Structure of the Life Science degree program

The Life Science program comprises a six-semester bachelor's degree program and a subsequent four-semester master's program. Due to the requirement to lay a solid foundation in both biology and chemistry, the bachelor's program has a specific curriculum and examination plan. In contrast, the master's program offers extensive choice from the in-depth courses offered in biology and chemistry, thus allowing for a distinct individual focus.
