Bachelor Biophysics (B.Sc.)
Standard period of study: 6 semesters
Start: Winter semester
Type of admission: Admission-free
"Bio" and "physics" form the bracket of what you can expect in your studies. The natural sciences of biochemistry and chemistry and, of course, mathematics are just as important for an in-depth understanding of biological systems. The term "system" refers to everything from biomolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, fatty acids) to cells and organisms. In Lübeck, the focus is on the molecular building blocks of life.
Teaching is always very close to research, which takes place on campus not only at the university's institutes but also at research centers such as the Center of Brain, Behavior and Metabolism (CBBM) and non-university research institutions such as the Fraunhofer Institute for Individualized and Cell-based Medical Engineering, the Leibniz Center for Medicine and Biosciences Borstel and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Plön.

Opinions of students
While you learn about the smallest building blocks of life, you yourself grow in big steps with the challenges of your studies
Janica von Dietman, 3rd semester Master
You become a polymath, one moment you're fiddling with physics questions, the next you're attending a biochemistry lecture.
Tina Dauksch, 2nd semester Bachelor
We are like interpreters between scientists, we know our way around all areas.
Finja, 4th semester Bachelor
We biophysicists stick together. But since we share many courses with other degree programs, we also make many friends outside of biophysics.
Wilhelm Krüger, 4th semester Bachelor
We are a smaller degree program, so the atmosphere is very informal. We always have a barbecue in summer and drink mulled wine in winter.
Nina, 4th semester Bachelor
The best of all natural sciences combined in one degree program, where you do a lot of interdisciplinary work.
Max, 4th semester Bachelor
Not at the moment. However, this does not mean that studying biophysics is easier than other degree programs at our university that have admission restrictions.
The module handbooks provide an initial detailed overview of the degree program. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail or in person. We would also like to draw your attention to the Campus Day.
In science degree courses, a bachelor's degree is often followed by a master's degree and then a doctorate. Many of the graduates who work in industry work in the field of research.
