- Description/content
- Life Science is a joint study programme of chemistry and biology. The interdisciplinary and research-oriented study programme addresses students with a fundamental background in both chemistry and biology (both required; including organic and physical chemistry, cell biology, genetics and biochemistry). By studying Life Science at the University of Konstanz, you will acquire a sound, high-quality scientific education that equally builds on chemistry and biology. You will be equipped with particular competence in the field of modern biomolecular research. In addition to the focus areas of classical biology and chemistry, biology focus areas are: biochemistry, bioinformatics, immunology, biochemical pharmacology, molecular genetics, microbiology, and cell biology. Chemistry focus areas include: bioorganic chemistry, cellular chemistry, and proteomics as well as carbohydrate, protein, and nucleic acids chemistry.
The study programme includes obligatory theory and laboratory courses in both chemistry and biology.
