Integrated Life Sciences Biology, Biomathematics and Biophysics

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

About the Program

With the unique Integrated Life Sciences: Biology, Biomathematics, Biophysics degree program, you'll gain not only biological expertise, but also mathematical and physical knowledge critical to modern biological research. The program explores the intersections of biology, microscopy, bioinformatics, systems biology, biophysics, and structural biology. The curriculum is designed to provide students with subject-specific basic knowledge of biology, mathematics and physics. In the first four semesters, students learn fundamentals in important areas of biology (cell biology, developmental and molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry), mathematics (linear algebra, analysis, stochastics, bioinformatics algorithms) and physics (experimental physics, structural physics, optics). In the 5th-6th semesters, students choose two areas of specialization from molecular biology, computational biology and biophysics. The bachelor thesis is written in the 6th semester.
