The curriculum (Blocks 1, 2, and 3) outlined below is based on the reform of the Bachelor’s program in Biology, Anthropology, and Archaeology (BABA1BA) and applies to students enrolling for the first time in September 2026 in the first year of the Bachelor’s program in Biology, Anthropology, and Archaeology.
Students who began their program before September 2026 will follow the old curriculum, but with content adjustments resulting from the reform.
