After successful completion of the course, students are able to comprehend the sujects presented in the lecture and to draw conclusions from them as well as to actively communicate the contents presented during the lecture.

Living materials, such as the cells in our body and the tissues which they form, are fundamentally different from non-living matter. Most importantly, cells and their constituents have access to a reservoir of chemical energy, often from metabolizing food, which they can use to do mechanical work on each other and on their environment. This enables cells to deform, move and divide autonomously, which ultimately is a necessary condition for achieving the diversity of form
and function that characterizes life. Thus, understanding living materials has become a core question in the modern physical and biological sciences. The "Projektarbeit" allows students to deepen their understanding of the physics of living matter by engaging in a research project.

Active participation in a research project mentored by the Lecturer and participation in the weekly group meetings.
