Biological Chemistry is an academic degree program in natural sciences providing students with an understanding of chemistry as well as the underlying principles at the interface of chemical and biological processes in living systems. During the program, students focus on the pathways in chemistry that are vital for the function and analysis of living systems, such as fields in biology dominated by chemical interactions. The double degree Bachelor’s program is offered by the JKU Linz together with the University of South Bohemia (USB) in Budweis (České Budějovice). Spanning two countries, this English-language program combines the academics of both universities, offering students two distinctive learning environments and proficiency in English.

About this course

Students who successfully complete the academic degree program in Biological Chemistry qualify for careers requiring solid expertise and international experience in the field of chemistry and biology. After completing the Bachelor's degree program, students will have solid base knowledge of chemistry, including general, organic, inorganic, analytical and physical chemistry as well as molecular biology and bioanalytics. The two distinct learning environments at each university mean that students not only develop critical thinking and problem-based learning skills, they also cultivate cross-cultural communication skills in order to work effectively across borders as part of an interdisciplinary team. The international, double-degree program provides graduates with a broad foundation in modern sciences and graduates have outstanding career prospects.

General higher education entrance qualifications (such as an Austrian "Matura" diploma).
English Language skills on Level B2 recommended.
For the enrollment procedure see this page or contact the Admissions Office for additional information about the admission requirements.
Alternatively you may enroll at the University of South Bohemia (USB) first, which may be easier for students from some, especially eastern European, countries.

Your Benefits:
Comprehensive education in fundamentals of chemistry
Education in microbiology and molecular biology based on an understanding of biochemistry
Well-rounded, international academic experience abroad
Develop English proficiency
"Double Degree" Bachelor's program
