Entrance Requirements IT Skills within the Bachelor's Degree Programme
Learning Outcomes and Competencies Digital, computer-assisted methods are at the forefront of the life sciences. With the help of informatics, models for chemical or biotechnological questions are continually being developed and processed algorithmically. In this process, programming skills are broken down simply and are then taught and applied. By the end of the module, students will be able to:

Programme and evaluate typical applications relevant in chemistry/biotechnology using the simple programming language ‘Python’.
Module Content Students study Python independently through a MOOC course, with the lecturer providing regular support during contact sessions. Content includes topics such as Python syntax, Python strings and sonsole output, Python functions, loops, dictionaries and data structure lists, and the use of standard libraries.
