U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Our teaching programmes are characterised by a high proportion of compulsory elective modules in order to adapt to students' personal interests (up to 100% elective modules in our M.Sc. Biology). All our programmes are research-oriented and offer a high percentage of practical courses and student projects. All programmes allow for time abroad (ERASMUS pogramme) and thesis work in other faculties or abroad. The bachelor programmes allow for dissection-free study and offer a fast-track to our PhD programme.

Evolutionary anthropology and human biology are biological subjects, which cover the evolution of man as well as of apes and their ancestors. The disciplines of evolutionary research, primatology, (pre)historic anthropology, archaeometry, human genetics, and population- and pharmacogenetics allow for an intensive and diachrone view. Molecular-genetic analyses build the centre of the programme. The phylogeny and prehistory of man is taught, however, not just from a genetic standpoint, but also by referring to fossils and findings of prehistorical archaeology.

The programme conveys scientific knowledge and skills over the full range of modern biology with a high proportion of experimental courses. Elective modules allow for high flexibility in focusing on one’s own interest. Research-oriented teaching pairs with strong links to science/mathematical faculties and university medicine. We offer empirical theses. The programme has an emphasis on the systematic and organismic field (ecology, evolution, biodiversity), comprises botanical and zoological excursions (also international). Fast-track option to PhD. Dissection-free option.

M.Sc. Biology is a consecutive study programme, which builds on B.Sc. Biology or B.Sc. Molecular Biology from the JGU Mainz or on equivalent programmes from other universities. This master programme is build entirely of elective modules and qualifies for a research-oriented occupation in one of the elective focus areas evolutionary biology, biodiversity, anthropology, developmental biology, neurobiology, molecular structural and cell biology, or biotechnology. An off-subject module allows for diverse additional qualifcations.

Strong practical training is provided in the Bachelor's and Master's degrees in chemistry and biomedical chemistry. In addition a strong interdisciplinary orientation is attractive for the biomedical chemistry curriculum during the Bachelor's and Master's degrees through cooperation with other disciplines (medicine, biology, pharmacy). High quality and in depth teaching is enabled in the chemistry curriculum, which is also broad, with a large range of optional courses. Furthermore, non-university research institutions are based on campus and are also involved in teaching.

The focus of the Biomedical Chemistry course lies within chemistry. Due to the many interdisciplinary points of contact of chemistry with biology, physics, pharmacy and medicine, the following focussed subjects and topics in teaching and research have been developed in Mainz: Bioinorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, biophysical chemistry, biochemistry, theoretical chemistry, biopolymers, radiochemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry. The results of chemical research can be put into practice, e.g. in the development of new drugs and new delivery systems.

The thematic focus of the Institute is data science in a broad sense of the word and many subfields of modern computer science today, including high-performance computing, machine learning and data mining, visual computing, computer graphics and computational geometry, bioinformatics and computational science. The basis for this is a strong cooperation with mathematics, physics, biology and other sciences. Johannes Gutenberg University is well known for its interdisciplinary and international culture which is also reflected by the profile of the Institute.

Interdisciplinary study programme designed for graduates with a B.Sc. degree in one of the life sciences (e.g. biology). Students learn the fundamentals of computer science and mathematics which enable them to analyse, modify and apply bioinformatic algorithms and programmes. During the 2nd and/or 3rd semester important algorithms and methods from different areas of bioinformatics are taught. During the 3rd and the 4th semester current bioinformatic methods are applied to concrete problems arising in biological research. Close coop. with academic and industrial partners.

Interdisciplinary and research oriented master programme. In addition to computer science students choose either mathematics of biology as an additional minor subject. During the first two semesters students learn either the fundamentals of the minor subject or of computer science (adjustment modules). In the area of specialization the students attend further lectures at the Master of Science level in computer science and the minor subject. During the 3rd and the 4th semester, a master seminar, the master thesis and the final exam have to be completed.

Der Studiengang ISCM ist ein gemeinsames Studienangebot der Hochschule Osnabrück und der Fachhochschule Münster in Kooperation mit den Saxion Hogescholen Enschede. Durch diese Konstellation ist es möglich, die spezifischen Stärken der drei Hochschulen, auch in einem länderübergreifenden Kontext in den Studiengang einzubringen. Die Lehrveranstaltungen werden zum größten Teil in englischer Sprache gehalten und der Studiengang ISCM ist sehr eng mit der Unternehmenspraxis verbunden.

The teaching and learning profile in History is orientated on developing a critical understanding and knowledge about history. This includes skills on methodology, interpretation of historical issues, research competence, writing and presentation skills and historical literacy. History teacher students will be trained in didactics to plan their teaching, diagnose the knowledge of their pupils and adopt scientific knowledge in their intellectual horizon.

The three-year bachelor programme introduces students to the scientific skills and approaches to studying history as an academic discipline. It provides a broad basic knowledge from Antiquity to Contemporary History. Students who are preparing to become school teachers will mostly focus on these epochs, while students, who are concentrating on history as one of two main study subjects, will enlarge their scientific skills by attending special methodological or thematic classes.
