Presentation

In addition to providing knowledge in many fields of biology (animal and plant physiology, ecology), the Bachelor includes courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and bioinformatics. The strong interplay between biology and informatics is the hallmark of this degree. The common courses between the two tracks initiated in year one, become progressively more specific, and more applied to general biology and life sciences.

The Bachelor in Life Sciences – Biology is managed by the Department of Life Sciences and Medicine. The academic team is made up of professors with expertise in biology, life sciences and bioinformatics from the University and partner Universities or research institutions.

Strengths

Fundamental acquisition

Students gain solid competence in fundamental branches of life sciences. Working closely with professors and other instructors, students not only develop their knowledge, but also their ability to apply rigorous thought and argumentation and their creativity. In addition, courses follow evolutions in the field thanks to strong interaction between teaching and research.

Double degree

Up to two semesters of the Bachelor’s degree can be provided by our partner universities and lead in this case to a co-degree between the University of Luxembourg and the chosen partner university.

Excellent learning conditions

The small student cohort (25 annual admissions in total for the whole programme with its two tracks) is an asset for students who have close contact with professors. In addition, a two- to four-week internships helps student refine their professional project.
