Prerequisites
Skills to be acquired in this module	++ biological eknoledge ++ biologically relevant knowledge in the natural sciences and mathematics ++ interdisciplinary knowledge & thinking ++ abstract, logical, analytical thinking Qualifications that the module provides The theoretical basics of the different disciplines of biology are acquired The overview gained enables the students to start their individual study planning, which fits their inclinations and abilities for the professional field of school teachers: consideration of living nature on different system levels (organism, population, ecosystem, biosphere) and with regard to its evolutionary history. Content specifically relevant to this career field are plant morphology and physiology, animal morphology and physiology, neurobiology, behavioural biology, genetics, molecular biology, developmental biology, evolution and biodiversity (systematics), ecology, biogeography, sustainable use of nature, human biology and immunobiology.
