The networked systems of the biosphere include:
- Interactions between organisms with the environment and the relationships of organisms to and between one another
- the diversity of living organisms, their structure, growth and functions
- the functions of cells and their components
- the genetic information contained in DNA and their interaction with proteins and other cell components. Advances in genetic engineering have enabled us to understand the functions of genes and proteins and attribute new characteristics to organisms via the creation of new genetic combinations.
The Bachelor’s degree programme in Biology equips students with a solid understanding of fundamental biological principles, as well as key competences. Topics covered include biodiversity and evolution of plants and animals, physiology and developmental biology as well as biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology. The Biology degree programme provides students with fundamental and specialised knowledge and ways of thinking, which can also be applied in other subject areas. Students are able to describe interconnections between subdisciplines of biology and between different levels of organisation in biological systems. Students are able to plan and implement their own teaching and learning. They are able to think analytically and critically and possess specialised and subject-specific didactical skills.

Admission Requirements
- If applicants cannot present a German language certificate with their application, they must pass the DSH examination at Heidelberg University, with a minimum score of DSH-2.
- If the applicant’s foreign higher-education entrance qualification (Baccalauréat, GCE - A & O-Levels, etc.) is found to be equivalent to the German higher-education entrance qualification (usually Abitur), the international applicant can be directly admitted to the university, if not the applicant will be required to pass an assessment test.
