Curriculum and Time-Tables in the BSc Chemistry and Biochemistry

The basic study program is modularized and organized as follows:

In the basic studies (semesters 1-4) all courses are compulsory, i.e. there are no options. At the beginning of the bachelor thesis, these must be passed (all 120 ECTS from the first 4 semesters). In the orientation studies (semesters 5-6) there are numerous options (see below).

The Orientation Program

During the final two semesters (Orientation Program) 5 Optional Modules (WP 1- WP 5) are offered in the fields of chemistry/biochemistry and biology. Herefrom, 2 modules are required (majors), each with 15 ECTS, and two lecture courses plus one lab course within the module (except Biology - see below). The major is chosen by attending the associated lab course or lectures.
15 ECTS in total are necessary in the Required Module P 12 arbitrary of a multitude of lectures. If more lectures than necessary are attended in the major, these may also be put into the P 12 module.
Both lectures in the Required Module P 11 (Tox/R) and the bachelor thesis are obligatory for all.

In WP 5 there are only these two modules possible to choose. Both lectures (module 1) are in the WiSe, the associated lab courses (module 2) are in the SoSe. Both lectures are examined together in one module examination (written examination).
There are no longer any other courses to attend. Please contact Dr. Michael Bögle: biokoord@bio.lmu.de beforehand (be aware of bulletins and registration deadlines in LSF!). Sometimes the course places in biology are limited. All registrations in biology should be carried out in LSF. Instead of the Literature Seminar in BC you may also choose single biology lectures with 3 ECTS.
* The registration for the exercises and the lab courses have to be carried out in LSF at the beginning of the semester.
