Programme profile
This programme is an interdisciplinary research-based program. This degree serves to provide its graduates with diverse knowledge and practical skills in ecosystem and environmental sciences.
The complex nature of ecosystems is a main challenge for researchers worldwide. This complexity promotes thinking in broad contexts, research networks and interdisciplinary subject areas. The programme is taught completely in English, and we aim to have a very international group of highly motivated and qualified students, including students from Germany, other European countries and abroad. You will have the opportunity to study subjects that cross traditional disciplines (from molecules to landscape-level and laboratory methods). Learning generally starts from understanding the basis of complex biological and ecological processes. Later on, you will learn about different advanced scientific methods for analyzing complex ecosystems. At the end of the studies, you will be able to design and carry out your own research projects.
Programme content
This programme comprises 18 technical modules. Most modules explain the use of molecular tools to address ecological issues in different disciplines. Some are clearly focused on molecular biosciences whereas others mainly focus on ecosystem research and its applications.
The technical modules are complemented by a key competence module on cross-cutting issues in each semester. A full semester is reserved for elective modules and students are encouraged to spend this semester at partner universities abroad to further strengthen their international profile.
The programme ends with a Bachelor project and the B.Sc. thesis
