Was lernt man in Biologie Studium?

Servus,

Meine Frage ist, was man in einem Biologiestudium alles lernt und ob es da verschiedene Zweige gibt. Ich würde gerne mich mit Flora und Fauna beschäftigen. Gibt es da einen Zweig in Biologie? Oder gibt es ein anderes Studium, das darauf abzielt?

Biology studies consist of 6 semesters. As a rule, however, no one takes your head off if you need a 7th or 8th semester.

In the 1st semester you have three lectures:

  • Physics 1: Mechanical & Thermodynamics
  • Chemistry 1: General and Inorganic Chemistry
  • Structures and functions of bio-organisms

Physics 1 is always Friday 8-10.
Chemistry 1 is always Monday and Wednesday 8 – 10
Structure and functions are always Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 12 – 13 hrs.

It sounds a little – compared to the school age, where you had lessons from Monday to Friday 8 to 3 p.m., but you have to rework a lot of stuff at home. You will not sit in the lecture and understand every word immediately. You might be able to do that with a Mickymaus, but definitely not at a lecture!

The lecture is only Lotse! The topics are presented. The right work begins only after the lecture, when you have to revise the topics in books or film sets, enter the accompanying reading and solve tasks on the topics.

Physics and chemistry are the first “Killer modules” in the first semester. However, most lecturers know that people do not study biology, because there physics & chemistry occurs, but although there Physics & Chemistry. That’s why you’re getting a slightly defrosted fabric there. So you don’t have to go through the complete pensum like the “right” physics or chemistry students, but you get a dismissed lecture.

I’m telling you quite honestly: 99.9% from the physics lecture I never needed to study again! Of course, there are topics such as action potentials in neurology, where one needs an equation – but these are topics that one also understands without great physics lecture.

The chemistry lecture was also a huge knocker at the beginning, but since the lecturer knew that we were not chemists, he instructed the instructors so that they put fair exams.

The actual biology is in the 1. Semester only in a single lecture, namely structure and functions. Here you will get the most important topics of biology presented in the pig gallop: In addition to genetics, cell biology, physiology and botany, a focus will also be placed on zoology. Once a week you prepare yourself at the Kadaver in the internship. (I find it quite unnecessary because you could actually have worked on plasti model from animal protection as well, but that is the rule there).

In the second semester you have.

  • Physics 2: Electrodynamics
  • Chemistry 2: Organic Chemistry
  • Diversity of organisms

Physics 2 is always Thursday 13 – 2 pm and Friday 8 – 10 pm.
Chemistry 2 is always on Monday 8-10 and Thursday 8-10.
Diversity of organisms is Monday 11 – 13:00 and Tuesday 12 – 13:00 and Friday 11 – 13:00.

Physics 2 is somewhat simpler than physics 1, because electrodynamics can be derived more easily by switching plans than mechanics.
Chemistry 2 is an annoying Pflich event like Chemistry 1.

In diversity of organisms, you get to know plants and fauna. You begin your first herbarium where you collect native plants and there are excursions in spring forests and other places. For this, there is a preparation internship as in “structure and functions”.

In the 3rd semester you have in the 1st semester

  • Biochemistry (Tues 8 – 10 o’clock + Thursday 10 – 11 o’clock + Friday 8 – 9 o’clock)
  • Animal physiology (Monday 8 – 10 o’clock + Tuesday 10 – 11 o’clock + Thursday 11 – 12 o’clock)
  • Microbiology (Wednesday 10 – 12:00 + Friday 9 – 11:00)
  • Physics 1 internship (Tuesday 12 – 4 pm + Wednesday 13 – 5 pm).

In biochemistry, you learn the chemical processes in the body. Compared to “Chemie 1” and “Chemie 2”, the fabric is not heavy, but only a lot. Especially learning amino acids by heart is really annoying.
In animal physiology, you learn everything about heart, lung, bleeding – and here again, unfortunately, animal bones have to believe:(
Microbiology is very instructive, but also extensive. (Very many mechanisms).

In Physics 1 internship, you will then do yourself experiments on the substance presented in the 1st semester. Experimenting is a lot of fun – the logging will take away your night sleep.

In the 3rd semester, the exams take place in half of the semester. That means you have completely new modules from the 2nd semester stalls:

  • Evolution (Mondays 10 – 12:00 + Tuesday 8 – 10:00)
  • Plant physiology (Monday 8 – 10 o’clock + Tuesday 10 – 11 o’clock + Thursday 11 – 12 o’clock)
  • Ecology (Wednesday 10 am – 12 pm + Friday 9 am – 11 pm)
  • Physics 2 Internship (Tuesday 12 – 4 pm + Wednesday 13 – 5 pm).

In Evolution, you learn about the development of beings in the pig gallop. Plant physiology is photosynthesis for the win and ecology provides an educational insight into the ecosystem and the environment. The Physics 2 internship is, similar to Physics 1 internship, joyful experiential mating – but associated with annoying logging.

Advantage is that after the 3. Semester no longer has a physics or chemistry event. (Chemical content still hides in other modules).

In the 4th semester you have in the 1st semester

  • Neurology (Tues 10 – 12 o’clock + Friday 8 – 10 o’clock)
  • Genetics (Mondays 10 – 12:00 + Thursday 10 – 12:00)
  • Cell Biology (Wednesdays 10 – 12 o’clock + Friday 10 – 12 o’clock)

In neurology you learn a lot about your senses, smells, tastes, seeing and – especially interesting for me as hearing impaired tinnitus feelings.
Genetics is much with transcription, translation, rNa polymerase, mitose, meisoe.
Cell biology is another pig gallop through all important aspects of the cells in living organisms. Pretty diverse, but also very exciting.

In the 2nd half of the semester you will only have molecular biology, 10 am – 12 pm on Mondays and 10 am – 12 pm on Thursdays. In addition, the specialization modules begin in the 4th semester.

Here you can then free your studies after your gusto. So you don’t have compulsory lectures after that, but you can choose which areas you’re going to train.

In the 4th and 5th semesters, 2 specialization internships must be selected. Internships are offered in the fields of plant physiology, mycology, anatomy, neurology, biochemistry, animal physiology, botany, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, zoology and microbiology.

One advantage is that you do not have to write any more annoying exams, but the proof of performance is provided directly by the work in the internship (e.g. by protocols).

In the 6th semester, you will also have the opportunity to research in a working group and you will write your Bachelor thesis.
In this sense…

Hehe jepp, there are the specialization modules from the 4th semester. Courses are generally designed so that in the first 3 semesters you can hear something from everyone. (A bit of genetics, a bit of neurology, a bit of physiology, a bit of chemistry, a bit of physics) so that everyone has a bit of a broad basic education. From the 4th semester, specializations will begin. You can then choose freely what you are dealing with.

Specialization 1 (4th semester, 1st semester)

  • Ecology of plants Internship or
  • Animal physiology internship or
  • Molecular Microbiology Internship

Specialization 2 (4th semester, 2nd semester)

  • Ecology of animals Internship or
  • Neurology 1 internship or
  • Molecular Plant Physiology Internship

Specialization 3 (5th semester, 1st semester)

  • Evolution and diversity of plants and mushrooms Internship or
  • Genetics internship or
  • Cell Biology Internship or
  • Biochemistry Internship

Specialization 4 (5th semester, 2nd semester)

  • Evolution and diversity of animals Internship or
  • Neurology 2 internships or
  • Molecular Biology Internship or
  • Applied Mycology Internship

So you could choose, for example, in the 4th semester as a specialization 1 “animal physiology” and as a specialization 2 “ecology of animals” and then in the 5th. Semester as a specialization 3 “Diversity of plants and fungi” and as a specialization 4 “Diversity of animals”.

In the 5th semester, you also have a seminar where you have to give a scientific lecture and in the 6th semester. Semester a bachelor’s thesis. You could also do both in a chair specializing in diversity of organisms or animal physiology. With us at the university, there are, for example, the “Institute for Ecology, Evolution and Diversity” – there people do nothing other than to research the whole day about diversity and to make courses in the field (be it “Diversity of the organisms” in the 2nd semester or the specializations from the 4th semester).

From the 4th semester, you could therefore only make modules from the “diversity of organisms” area if you choose your specialization modules accordingly. That’s the 4th – 6th. Semester there – to specialize.

In other courses, this does not look different: In BWL, for example, during the first 3 semesters, you can also hear lectures from all kinds of fields (finance, accounting, economics, marketing, business informatics, law…) in order to specialize in one direction from the 4th semester.

As far as animal physiology is concerned, it is a hard bread. However, the preparations are usually carried out in group work (so that it does not have to be killed for 200 participants, 200 animals). It is also possible to hold back in a discreet manner during group work and to allow the SItznachbarbar to roll around in the cadaver if you do not want it for ethical reasons.

I’m studying biology and we’ve been through the whole upper level in detail.

In the first semester there was a lot of evolution and genetics. This semester was then a lot (actually a lot) of flora and fauna and ecology.

At Fauna we went through the family tree of multicelled animals (Metazoa), so that most animals can now be assigned to their Latin group name. Then you learn the characteristics of the large groups and go on a few animals.

Plants were slightly rough. Since we have also learned a few plant names but rather the focus was on the reproduction of plants

Why don’t you get your own research about courses as a prospective academic? I’d expect an academic. Take care.

Just look for the div. Bio degree programs available. There are also techn. Biology. Evtl. helps studis-online.de.

In your place, however, I would first ask myself what jobs are after. My cousin has found practically nix with Diploma (entpr. Master) except PhD. Not until Dr. found more sensible jobs.

there are various fields, Flora would be botany and fauna zoology, of course. In addition, there are also, for example, animal physiology, plant physiology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics and others.
