Biology Study Program and EGC
Study Program Commission Biology (StuFK)
This panel corresponds to the former “Study Program Planning Commission, StuPK” which was installed in 2004 at our faculty. The faculty has a long tradition of discussing quality aspects of teaching and learning in regular cycles. The panel meets at least twice during a semester to discuss current developments and problems in the field of teaching and learning, drawing on the results of questionnaires, surveys, and statistical data, as well as previous discussions between students and professors on study issues. Based on this, ideas and proposals are developed to enhance the quality of the study programs in terms of both content and organization. The results are forwarded to the faculty council. To better focus on teacher training-specific issues, a subcommittee for these teaching programs has been established, consisting of StuFK members and individuals involved in teacher training.

Educational Opportunity Grants Commission
This panel consists of equal numbers of students and professors, which are announced by the faculty council and the students´ council, respectively, the study dean representing the chair. Based on proposals submitted by students or members of the faculty, the committee discusses and decides on the use of the educational opportunity grants budget at the Faculty of Biology. The committee meets several times a year, starting towards the end of the winter term, and very urgent proposals may be submitted any time at the study dean´s office. The study dean reports on the spending of the budget regularly by circulating lists on acquired equipment to the members of the faculty.
