Special features regarding teaching
The broadly based degree course has great practical relevance, enables research orientation at an early stage and offers individual flexibility. In addition to theory and experimental methods, soft skills, such as team work and presentation techniques, are also taught. The degree course is characterised by close relationships with assistant professors and intensive student supervision and guidance. The BioCampus has a modern learning centre and a large number of teaching laboratories with excellent facilities.
