The Undergraduate Studies Programme of the Department of Biology at the University of Patras provides comprehensive scientific education, covering a broad range of modern biological sciences, from the molecular and cellular levels to the study of organisms, biodiversity, and ecosystems.
The programme spans four (4) academic years, organised into eight (8) semesters, and includes compulsory and elective courses, combining theoretical knowledge with laboratory exercises, fieldwork, and research activities. Students also have the opportunity to undertake an Undergraduate Thesis and participate in Practical Training.
The programme aims to develop scientific knowledge, research skills, and critical thinking, preparing graduates for their professional careers and further academic studies.
The courses offered are presented below by semester, providing detailed information on course content, teaching activities, European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits, and teaching staff.
