Annotation

Biochemistry is the study of molecules and chemical processes in living organisms, while Cell Biology addresses the structure and physiology of cells, their components, and their interactions with the environment. The two fields are combined in one comprehensive degree programme, which provides students with a broad understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that form the basis of life, including the principles of inheritance and gene expression. This allows BCCB graduates to address important problems in today's society in their careers, be it by basic or applied research, for example, in the areas of biomedicine, biotechnology, or molecular biology. For this, the BCCB programme at Constructor University provides not only the theoretical background, but also substantial practical training. Students are, furthermore, involved in hands-on research during their studies. As part of the Bachelor programme degree, students receive a solid foundation in mathematics and the natural sciences Physics and Chemistry, which is an important basis for a deeper understanding of the content of the study programme.
