Quantitative Biology

The Quantitative Biology degree programme offers a study of Biology, that in addition to teaching important experimental techniques, is closely intertwined with methods of mathematical modeling, data science, and bioinformatics. The completely redisigned, new curriculum is strictly oriented toward the needs of modern biological and medical research - 62% of all job postings for biologists ask for at least one quantitative skill not covered in typical biology programmes.  

This bachelor's degree programme is fully taught in English and was developed in cooperation between Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and the University of Cologne, with the support of CEPLAS (Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences). 

Depending on your performance and preferences, after the fifth semster you can decide between a 3-year variant (with a one semester research phase) and a research intensive 4-year variant (with a 3 semester research phase).
