About the Program
Biology is the science of living nature. It describes and investigates the manifestations of living systems, whether at the molecular level, in organisms, or in ecosystems. Modern biosciences are the foundation for interdisciplinary scientific fields such as molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, bioinformatics, and ecology. The Bachelor's program in Biology is jointly organized by Leibniz University Hannover (LUH), the University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover (TiHo), and Hannover Medical School (MHH), and is coordinated by the Central Institution for Biology (ZEB). Enrollment takes place at LUH. The participation of the three universities offers students diverse options in an interdisciplinary environment. Modules in basic natural sciences as well as botany, plant physiology, molecular biology, and genetics are primarily offered by LUH, while modules in zoology, animal and human physiology are offered by TiHo and MHH. Scientific working methods are taught through a high practical component in teaching. After completing the basic natural science courses, the program offers the opportunity to specialize in a specific area. The study program is divided into mandatory, elective, and optional areas with the General Studies program.
