Modular studies are suitable for applicants who are temporarily unable to study full-time (for example, in parallel with a job, or due to family responsibilities), or prospective students who particularly want to get to know a specific field of study. Academic or professional partial qualifications can also be acquired within the framework of professional and personal further education. Achievements made in the modular studies can then be recognised for and contribute towards later studies.

Examples of previous theses titles

You can do your final thesis at the chairs and institutes of the faculty of biology. This is also the list of chairs and institutes that you can select a supervisor from if you do your thesis externally.

You can also do your thesis at the institutes of (bio)medicine and (bio)chemistry. In addition, it's possible to do your thesis in research groups at the Clinical Institutes of Medicine, at non-university research institutions, or in relevant companies. In these cases, you will need a second supervisor from the department of Biology. For this, you can choose someone from the chairs and institutes from the list above.

Detailed information for registration or extension of a thesis for Bachelor or Master.

Take advantage of the opportunity to spend part of your studies abroad, by choosing from the diverse offers from our partner universities and get to know a different country and its people. This is possible in the Bachelor of Biology from the 5th semester onwards, as well as between Bachelor and Master studies or during the Master's programme. You can also do your final thesis at a partner university or participate in the coordinated programmes of the Coimbra Group - Working Group Life Sciences. If you want to get a taste of corporate life and make contact with your potential future employers, an external internship is perfect for this. You can get support from the career coordinator.

If you want to do a PhD in the life sciences, you can do so at the Faculty of Biology or within the framework of the Graduate School of Life Sciences. If you decide to do your PhD outside the university in companies or research institutions, you will need at least a second supervisor who is a member of the university and authorized to conduct examinations.
