Biology
Bachelor of Science
Biologie, B.Sc.
Description
Modern Biosciences are characterised by tremendous technical dynamics and variety. Apart from the classical areas of specialisation of Zoology, Botany, Microbiology, Genetics, Physiology, and Ecology, there are numerous related disciplines such Biochemistry, Biophysics, Bioinformatics, Biomedicine, Bioengineering, and Bioethics.
However, they can be divided into two fundamental areas: molecular and cellular biology on the one hand and organismic and systemic biology on the other.
General note: With the Bachelor of Science degree, students acquire a first degree qualifying them for a profession. However, at the Technical University of Darmstadt the Master of Science is the standard degree. It is therefore recommended that students complete a Master's programme.

An important prerequisite for a successful course of study of Biology at the TU Darmstadt is first and foremost a basic interest in scientific problems and in practical experimentation throughout the course of study. In this context, prospective students should be aware of the fact that a well-founded understanding of biology is unthinkable without chemistry, physics and mathematics and that these disciplines are essential components of the study programme and should not be underestimated. Students should thus possess the motivation to obtain broad fundamental knowledge in the field of modern biosciences.
Mathematics – Why? What? What for? Who? How? Where? Further information? You will find answers to these questions here.
Furthermore, good English skills are useful as relevant academic literature often only exists in English.
