Bachelors

The Institute of Biochemistry (IBC) supports the Bachelor in Biology curriculum of the Department of Biology, ETHZ.

The first and second years of the Bachelor program present Bachelor students with the Fundamentals in Biology courses. The curriculum is supported by the IBC through frontal lectures given by the Professors and through associated practical laboratory-based courses.

The third year of the Bachelor program is composed of a combination of Concept-Courses and Block-Courses. The goal of the Concept-Courses is to teach the principles and concepts underlying a selected domain of biology. The Block-Courses aim is to communicate scientific research as a process using a combination of lectures, experimental work in the lab, discussion of literature, scientific presentations and other activities. A clearly defined biological problem will be analyzed in detail during a 12 day course.
