Master of Science Biology
The M.Sc. is research based and guides especially towards experimental scientific work. Numerous Elective modules allow to give the studies an individual profile in one of the following majors:
The selected Major will be written on the final certificate.
The methodologic-analytic knowledge at the current state of science that is acquired during the course of studies enables to carry out sophisticated issues in complex biological systems and to conduct independent research projects.
In the first semester three out of seven Orientation Modules, which introduce to the majors, have to be selected. One of the majors is further pursued in the following semesters.
In the second semester the specialization continues by the choice of the major. One mandatory module (Major Module I) and one Elective Module in the area of the major. One further Elective Module is free to choose. The Major Module I gives a deeper insight into the chosen major. Is has a methodolocical focus and builts on the contents of the respective orientation module. The elective modules A reflect the various subdisciplines of the chosen major. The elective module B can be chosen from any other major in biology, from any other teaching offer of other faculties or universities or can be done as a occupational internship.
In the third semester the respective major is further intensified through the Major Module II. Again there are options to individually tailor the studies. The practical parts Major Modules II are designed research based. The project module at the end of the third semester prepares for the Master thesis which is to be conducted in the fourth semester in the respective major.
