Biology

The discipline of biology involves research into all aspects of life – from complex molecular structures, through organelles, cells, tissues and organs, up to individual organisms and living communities. It includes the fascinating study of how living things interact with each other and with their environment.

Beside theory, studies in biology present opportunities for developing a number of practical skills via exercises and excursions. Biologists pursue careers, for instance, in schools, research institutions, laboratories, industry, hospitals and in the area of environmental protection. more »

Chemistry

Chemistry researches the material basis of our environment. The discipline investigates the properties of substances, the composition of compound substances, and the development of new chemical substances. Chemical research provides foundations for the development and production of new materials for technological and industrial applications, as well as for official monitoring of the quality of foodstuffs and the environment. Studies in Chemistry at the University of Bremen provide a sound grounding in the subject and attractive opportunities for specialization.

Earth Sciences

How does “System Earth” function? Earth scientists investigate processes that have occurred on and below the Earth’s surface since the beginning of the planet. They analyze and model the evidence that has been left behind in an attempt to understand past phenomena and predict future developments. Their work can involve seeking solutions for the pressing problems facing humankind, like the exploitation of scarce natural resources and safeguarding the climate. Studies in Earth Sciences at the University of Bremen include a focus on marine and geotechnical sciences.

Physics

What is our world made of? What particles does it comprise? What is the origin of the universe? These are the questions at the heart of studies in Physics. The science of Physics constitutes the basis for the other natural sciences. Students of the subject learn to grasp complex problems and issues. A broad range of opportunities are open to graduates of the field, ranging from careers in aerospace, banking, clinics, software development and teaching. more »
