Biology Aarhus University

Overview

The programme combines theory, observation, and hands-on experimental research through laboratory work, field excursions, lectures, and seminars.

The Biology programme from Aarhus University offers a flexible structure, which you can design to fit your skills and preferences. A wide range of courses are offered within three major biological disciplines:

The Department of Biology has a vibrant and active student community - throughout your degree, you will be able to join both academic and social activities and excursions organized by and for Biology students.
