- Biology, BSc
Objectives and Perspectives
Our aim is to provide students with basic knowledge in the most important biological fields, to attain skills
in fundamental methods of laboratory and applied biology, and acquaints them with the most important
processes of biochemistry, cytology, components of living organisms. The Biology BSc program covers a
broad range of biological science including the most important concepts in modern biology; the levels of
biological organization; the fundamental principles of structure and function and the development of
ecosystems.

Background
The Institute of Biology and Ecology at the University of Debrecen has about 50 staff members, a third of
whom are professors and associate professors with fluent English, established educational and research
experience and regular research publication. The institute is well equipped and has an almost complete new
Life Sciences library with more than 20000 books and about 200 journals in biology and ecology. Our
libraries also enjoy the technical support and database of the National University Library of Debrecen. The
institute is located in the two newest buildings of the Faculty of Science: the Life Sciences Building and the
Ecological Building, with well equipped, spacious and computerized lecture rooms and laboratories.
