The Module Manual for B.Sc. Biology
In the Module Manual you will find the following information for each module :
- content and qualification goals of the modules
- teaching and learning methods/types of classes
- requirements for attending
- applicability of the module
- ECTS point requirements (e.g., passing exam)
- workload and duration of the module.
Before you take a course you should read through these pages. Here you can find out what qualifications you will obtain in the module and what will be expected of you so and that might avoid unpleasant surprises:

MarSkills:
Starting with the third semester you can integrate offerings from other subjects into your program by choosing MarSkill modules in the amount of 18 credit points. It´s an interesting supplement to personalize your study program and make it unique. The MarSkills field contains modules of differents faculties as well as central "pool" modules - for example "Digital Content" or the "Marburg module". For the current range of module offerings please see our MarSkills module book:
- Biological offers of MarSkills Modules (German) (pdf)
- Current offers of Central MarSkills & Interdisciplinary Modules (German) (pdf)
Please note:
This page applies to the current examination regulations in Wintersemester 2023/24. If you are studying according to an earlier or later examination regulation other provisions may apply. In that case please contact our Advising service for further information.
