Life is complex. The bachelor's degree course in Biomedical Sciences is designed to provide an understanding of complex biological processes in humans and animals from molecules to whole organisms. Teaching of biochemistry and molecular biology as well as cell biology and physiology provide the basis for this. Specializations in neuroscience, immunology, neuroimmunology, molecular biology and quantitative biology are offered. The Biomedical Sciences course aims to teach students the skills required to research and describe the structures, functions and dynamics of these complex biological systems. The knowledge and skills acquired create the basis for understanding and further developing translational approaches in research and medical applications. This course develops skills that make it possible to abstract and formulate complex problems in a developing research field in order to find new ways of understanding complex biological processes in humans and animals.

The undergraduate degree program B.Sc. Biomedical Sciences is designed to prepare students for a scientific career in the field of biomedicine, human biology, neuroscience, immunology or related research areas. Graduates should be qualified for research-oriented undergraduate degree courses.

The aim of the course is to acquire a broad and at the same time detailed and critical understanding of specialist knowledge as well as the general capability to learn and work independently using scientific methods. Students will acquire the skills to solve problems in a scientifically structured manner, considering related disciplines, and to communicate their knowledge to colleagues and laypersons in english. Graduates will be enabled to contribute to research in their subject area beyond the current state of the art and acquire advanced skills and knowledge by themselves. Even on the basis of limited information, graduates will learn to make scientifically sound decisions, considering scientific evidence as well as the social and ethical context. They will learn to assume responsibility in a team.

Graduates of the Biomedical Sciences degree program will find jobs regionally, nationally and internationally in research institutions for basic research in biology, medicine and pharmacy, applied research at industrial companies in pharmacy, medical technology and biotechnology, as well as in specialist authorities. Last but not least, the B.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences provides the basis for continuing studies as part of a Master's program in subjects with a biological-medical focus, e.g. Master in Integrative Neuroscience or Master in Immunology at OVGU.

Applicants should have a strong interest in the natural sciences, in particular the life sciences. Knowledge of the English language is obligatory and must be proven either by presenting a German university entrance qualification or a language certificate at level B2.
