Presentation

In addition to providing knowledge in many fields of animal and human biology (physiology, histology, health and disease), 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 biomedical research with data science and bioinformatics as one of the focus areas.

The Bachelor in Life Sciences – Biomedicine 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, as well as experts in the field with knowledge of care environments in the Grand Duchy.

Strengths

Fundamental acquisition

Students gain solid competence in fundamental branches of life sciences and animal and human biology. 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. The integration of up-to-date research methods into the curriculum and the tight articulation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills fosters the consolidation of competences. The disciplinary diversity will be integrated to develop bioanalytical skills, which will prepare students for a career in research & development.
