About this programme

The international Bachelor in Quantitative Biology is a new degree programme offered jointly by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and the University of Cologne. It integrates the study of biology and its experiments with methods of mathematical modelling, data science, and bioinformatics. The resulting curriculum is strictly oriented toward the needs of modern biological and medical research. In contrast to traditional biology curricula, the modules in the first two years are not divided between botany, zoology, microbiology, etc. Instead, you will acquire understanding of the basic principles in biology, which lead sometimes to very similar results or sometimes to very different results in distinct organisms. The study programme equips you with profound knowledge of biology, including the mastery of important experimental, mathematical, statistical, and computational methods. The integrative design of the teaching modules embeds the necessary quantitative skills in biological contexts. Courses are taught in English, and almost all modules include practical courses or exercises, to help you internalise the course contents in an applied setting. Our central aim is to empower you to combine biological with quantitative-analytical thinking, so that you will be optimally positioned for a career in modern research.
