Biology is one of the key areas of modern Life Sciences. The objective of the degree course is to convey specialist knowledge founded in theory and methodology in central areas of biology, as well as to provide basic training in the scientific foundation subjects. In doing so, an overview of the relationships within biology and with neighbouring disciplines is taught, as well as independent academic work and methodological skills.
