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 .

Students gain a fundamental and broad background in the first two years of their undergraduate studies. They are introduced to practical working methods in biology and biochemistry in the first year of their undergraduate studies. In the higher semesters of the undergraduate programmes and in the master programmes, students can choose from a wide range of subjects due to the broad research focus of the faculty in order to adapt to student´s personal interest.

Faculty research includes a broad spectrum, such as Biomedicine, Cellular and Structural Biochemistry and Biophysics, Microbiology, Genetics, Molecular Ecology and Evolution, and Neurobiology. Using a variety of modern technologies, it spans biological scales from single molecules to intact cells, tissues, and various living organisms. This multifaceted and closely interacting research community creates an exciting and stimulating environment for teaching in the biological and biomedical sciences.

Basics in mathematics, physics, organismic biology, animal and plant physiology. Broad and well-founded training in chemistry with a focus on organic chemistry. The subject biochemistry is deepened in theory and practice with lectures, a basic practical course and two full-day practical courses lasting several weeks with accompanying seminars. A freely selectable minor subject establishes a further practical connection. Imparting key qualifications for a professional career. The completion of a research and method-oriented Bachelor's thesis concludes the study programme.

Basics of theoretical and practical bioanalytics. Advanced knowledge of organic chemistry (synthesis methods and spectroscopic methods). Participation in various scientific working groups to work on current research topics (organo-chemical, biochemical, molecular-biological and cell-biological directions). These research internships comprise approx. 50% of the Master's training and ensure its practical relevance. An obligatory internship in industry or abroad should promote flexibility and provide insight into the structures of other research institutions and companies.

Deepened knowledge in different fields of biology, including botany, zoology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and neurobiology and basic knowledge in chemistry, mathematics and physics. In the last two terms, students achieve a solid knowledge in at least two areas of biology. Special emphasis is given to practical work, covering nearly 50% of the work load. Students are also furnished with systematic guidance and methodological tools for performing academic work. A three-months Bachelor thesis proves their ability to scientifically work on a special topic.

"Students can chose from 20 subjects covering nearly all areas of biology. Within each subject, they visit lectures, seminars and practical courses. In practical courses, students are directly involved in a current scientific project. The study programme is finalized by an independent research project, the Master thesis, in which students work in-depth on a project for nine month. In three compulsory Skills-Modules (Communication Skills, Job Skills and Research Skills), students gain essential competences and are trained in scientific strategies and presentation of scientific results."

The comparison of political regimes serves as a basis for application-oriented democracy science, which focuses on qualitative and quantitative processes for analyzing and measuring democracy. Exploring democracy and authoritarianism in the states of Central and Eastern Europe merely focuses on transformation societies (politics, culture, economy and social issues) and options of these nations with regard to foreign affairs. These are investigated through comparing analyses considering different constitutions, political actors and processes.

The BA students gain a profund overview of the state of the art in political science. A Germany-wide unique selling proposition is the comparative analysis between Western-European, Central European and Eastern European democracies. Additionally, the meaning of the transatlantic relations for political structures worldwide are another focus. The BA combines the traditional branches of political science with a praxis oriented training in qualitative and quantitative methods.

With its unique profile, the master "Democracy Studies" is the poster child of Regensburg's political science department. Its specific feature lies in the fact that democracy science makes up the sole focus of the course and therefore allows a radical comprehensive debate on the research object. A variety of theoretical and methodical approaches ensure a thorough analysis on the development, stability and breakdown of political regimes. Normative classics from the history of thought and methods of the empiric democracy/research are connected with a practically oriented approach to education.
