The Faculty of Biology’s keynote lectures take place on a monthly basis; the faculty’s three institutes each plan up to four lectures every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lectures are conceived in such a way that all listeners can follow without being an expert in the topic. The focus is therefore not on the presentation of data but on the topic, methodology, and concept of the research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The faculty council is the highest decision-making body of the Faculty of Biology. It is elected every 3 years (the student representatives are elected annually) and meets several times a semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All members of the faculty can find the public part of the minutes in the faculty’s sharepoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the introduction week, we will provide you with all the important information you need at the beginning of your studies, including how your program of study works, which courses you should take in your first semester, and what else you should bear in mind. Our subject representatives will explain everything you need to know in special events and consultation hours. You can find an overview of the dates at the Faculty of Biology on the following sliders. All information and offers can be found on the “Studying at JGU” page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-buttonitem>\n\n<\/jgu-base-button><\/div>\n\n\n\n
