The minor subject “Introduction to Biology” provides insight into the fundamental contents and scientific concepts of the various sub-disciplines of biology. The wide range
of subjects to choose from includes: Anatomy/Morphology, Developmental Biology, Evolution, Genetics, Microbiology, Mycology, Conservation, Ecology, Physiology and Cell Biology. Essential supporting biological sciences, including biochemistry and biostatistics, are also possible modules.
You will learn to describe biological facts using the relevant technical terms and will be able to explore new biology subjects and topics on your own. 

An integral part of the combined Bachelor's degree is the MarSkills programme, in which you will acquire valuable, future-oriented skills.

Prospects

Understanding and assessing biological issues is becoming increasingly important in a wide range of professions. This minor subject prepares you for working in the interdisciplinary boundary between your chosen major and a natural science. 

A minor subject will help you to extend your professional qualifications profile, which is decisively shaped by the choice of your major subject. In conjunction with your major subject, your relevant work experience (e.g. internships, part-time jobs, voluntary work) and your personal skills, it will enable you to refine your profile and carve out your own individual array of career options.
