Biology and Geography

The Faculty of Biology and Geography (BioGeo) consists of two institutes – the Institute of Biology and the Institute of Geography – and cooperates closely with the Centre for Medical Biotechnology (ZMB) and the Centre for Microscale Eco­systems (ZMU). The faculty therefore offers a wide choice of study courses andresearch opportunities in biosciences and geosciences, ranging from the abioticenvironment and the inhabited world right through to social sciences. The main focus is on biomedical research, water and environmental research, and empirical educational research in the didactics of biology.
