Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

Molecular Life Science

A strong foundation

The Molecular Life Science degree program focuses on molecular cell and structural biology and their application in medicine and biomedical technologies.

The three-year course provides basic theoretical knowledge and basic practical skills in the experimental natural sciences up to the Bachelor's degree (B.Sc.) with a focus on (bio)chemistry and biosciences. The modular course structure according to ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) makes it possible to take advantage of courses offered by foreign universities and to incorporate electives from other courses at the location.

Although our Bachelor's degree also enables us to enter the job market, continuing our studies in the Master's program - preferably further here with us - is recommended and usually taken up.

Contents of the study program

In the first two years, the focus is on teaching basic knowledge and practical skills in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics and mathematics. Chemistry is a particular focus because research often takes place at the level of cell compartments and molecular structures and chemistry is also a prerequisite for understanding structural biology and all biochemical processes in the body.

In the final year, students learn the basics of the cross-sectional areas specific to the degree program (structural analysis, tissue engineering, molecular biology, (bio)informatics).
More details can be found in the curriculum or in the module descriptions in the module handbook.

Curriculum

All courses are listed in the recommended course of study. It indicates the semester in which a course should be attended.

 

Further information on the individual modules can be found in the Bachelor's module handbook and the Master's module handbook. There are links to these in the curriculum.

Application and admission

Applications are submitted via the online application portal.

This degree program has admission requirements. These can be found in the current program regulations.

You can find all the important information about starting your first semester here.

Audit matters

As a rule, there are two examinations per module each year: One at the beginning of the lecture-free period directly after the semester and another at the end of the lecture-free period. Each student has three attempts to pass the examination. The final module grades almost always consist solely of this examination grade.

Dates

The examinations for all STEM courses are organized centrally each semester. Every lecturer is required to adhere to this central schedule.

Only the respective compulsory courses are taken into account in this schedule; the dates for purely elective courses are usually set by the lecturers after consultation.

All examination dates should also be listed in UnivIS.

Students who require special examination conditions due to restrictions can apply to the examination board for compensation for disadvantages. If possible, this should be done a few weeks before the first examination.

Recognition of external achievements:

If you have already acquired training or modules in another degree program that are very similar or equivalent to our modules, you can have these modules/achievements recognized. To do this, fill out the form"Recognition of external achievements" and submit it to the relevant module coordinator for recognition by signature. At the end, this form must be submitted to the Examination Office/Examination Board Chair (Prof. Hartmann).

Chairman

Prof. Dr. Enno Hartmann(Chairman) / Prof. Dr. T. Krey (Deputy Chairman)

The current composition of the Examination Board can be found here.

Recognition of external achievements

If you would like to have external achievements from other universities recognized or internships that you have completed during your vocational training (MTA, CTA, etc.), please use the form"Recognition of external achievements" from the Student Service Center website.

Two regulations apply to the Bachelor's degree program in Molecular Life Science:

  1. The examination procedure regulations for all degree programs: These regulations contain guidelines that apply to all technical and scientific degree programs at the University of Lübeck.
  2. The course-specific course regulations: These summarize all regulations that apply specifically to the course. Among other things, the individual courses of the entire semester are listed here and a study plan is presented.

All current versions of the regulations can be found here. Each student is subject to the most recent version at the start of their studies.

For the recognition of external achievements, please use the form on the SSC website under Examination Offices-Mint, Forms and Information Sheets

The Bachelor's thesis is planned for the 6th semester of the Bachelor's degree course.
The thesis must be officially registered with the Examination Office.

From this point in time, the student has a maximum of 6 months to complete the thesis. Only in justified exceptional cases can an extension of 1 month be granted.

The topic of the Bachelor's thesis must be related to the course content. This can be confirmed by the Chair of the Examination Board. Topics for the Bachelor's thesis can be requested from all institutes and clinics.

The Bachelor's thesis includes a final colloquium. Both must be assessed by two examiners. Registration for the colloquium must also be submitted to the Examinations Office when the thesis is officially submitted (SSC).

Graduation ceremony: The date is always at the end of January of the following year
This ceremony for Bachelor graduates usually takes place on the last Friday in January. Further information can be found under"ceremonial occasions" on the university website, where you can also register for the ceremony.

Information on the Bachelor's thesis

General information about the Bachelor's thesis (such as excerpts from the PO and information sheets), as well as information about the structure of the thesis can be found in Moodle.

The necessary forms can be found on the forms page of the Examination Office(registration of the thesis, application for external work (= attachment to the application...), extension application, structure and colloquium...).

Please submit completed forms to the Examinations Office!

The current list of examiners can be found in Moodle(link for lecturers/linkfor students)
