The interdisciplinary bachelor's programme in Biophysics combines physics with biological knowledge. Physics is the main focus, complemented by experimental physics, theoretical physics and mathematics, as well as chemistry and biology.
Students study mechanics, oscillations and waves, electricity, optics, thermodynamics and quantum and atomic physics. Specialised biophysics courses start in the second semester and show how physics applies to complex biological processes.
Numerous laboratory courses teach students to plan, carry out and document experiments. The programme ends with a bachelor's thesis in a biophysically oriented research group, and graduates can continue with related master's programmes. Physics comes first in the course, so students gain an analytical foundation before specialising. Students can then apply their skills in research settings or in related master's degrees.
