Annotation

The Bachelor's degree in Human Biology/Biomedical Science offered by the Department of Medicine is designed to qualify students for scientific and practical work in the field of basic biomedical research in medicine. During the first semesters, the necessary basics are taught through natural science modules (mathematics and physics, molecular basics) and subject-specific core modules (anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, molecular biology, etc.). In addition, in higher semesters, more medically relevant content is included in the curriculum (e.g. in-depth courses in neurology, pathology, molecular imaging, etc.).

Research focuses
During the course of study, students specialise in one of the four main areas of immunology and infection biology, neurobiology, tumour biology or cell biology.

Aims
As the degree course primarily provides you with skills and competences in the field of research and laboratory work, it qualifies you in particular for activities such as

- in an academic environment
- in research institutes
- in the pharmaceutical industry or
- in the research-oriented private sector (e.g. biotech companies).

The practical module provided during your degree can give you an insight into possible fields of activity in the above-mentioned institutions. Although a bachelor's degree represents a completed course of study and qualifies the student for employment, a master's degree is often required in research-oriented institutions.

Applications are submitted via the Dialogue Oriented Service Process (DoSV) of Hochschulstart!
