Biology in Society

There are three admission requirements for Biology in Society. 1) Candidates must have completed a first recognized vocational university degree acquired in Germany or a qualification from an officially recognized vocational academy in biology or a comparable specialist field(s). 2) English language proficiency, usually at the advanced level of B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, and 3) sufficient motivation for the degree program are required. Proof of motivation and suitability is provided by the Letter of motivation, and an aptitude assessment in accordance with the aptitude assessment regulations

Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in biology or a comparable specialist field(s). BSc-level knowledge in zoology, botany, including physiology, molecular biology, genetics, evolution, and statistics.

• A B.Sc. in Biology or related topic (or a documented completion of 80% of the degree). BSc-level knowledge in zoology, botany, including physiology, molecular biology, genetics, evolution, and statistics. One of these may be missing - you would have to catch up with it yourself, though.

If at the time of application, proof of the first degree qualifying the applicant for a profession is not yet available, the application will be considered under the precondition that 80% of the credit points attainable for the degree have already been achieved based on completed module examinations or the final thesis and the colloquium (if applicable). A certification from the awarding institute of higher education (examination office) serves as proof of the above-mentioned academic achievements.

Furthermore, English language proficiency at the advanced level of B2 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, specialist knowledge, and sufficient motivation for the degree program are required.

English language proficiency can also be proven with a certificate of a general or subject-specific university entrance qualification with an advanced course completed in English, or a certificate for a university entrance qualification completed entirely in English or a diploma for a university degree completed entirely in English.

The participation in an aptitude assessment or selection procedure is a prerequisite for enrollment in this degree program
