Biochemistry is the study of molecules and chemical processes in living organisms, while Cell Biology is concerned with the structure and physiology of cells, their components, and interactions with the environment. The two fields are combined in one comprehensive degree program, which will give you 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 in their careers important problems in today's society, be it by basic or by applied research, for example in the areas of biomedicine, biotechnology, or molecular biology. For this, the BCCB program at Jacobs University provides not only the theoretical background, but also substantial practical training. Students are, furthermore, involved in hands-on research during their studies.

A Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from Jacobs University forms the solid foundation for success in further education and career, be it in industry or in the academic world. This is because BCCB students at Jacobs University acquire first-rate expertise and practical skills for successful international careers in the life sciences. Since the faculty to student ratio is high, students receive individual advice on their plans. Most of our graduates continue at the very best graduate schools in Germany, the UK, the US, and other countries.
