Major Plant Sciences

Banner_pw.jpg

Spokesperson: PD Dr. Thomas Kretsch

The Plant Sciences core program offers students a multifaceted curriculum with full coverage of the discipline: molecularly oriented laboratories lecture in the areas of plant physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, gene technology, developmental biology and molecular evolution. Ecological approaches and techniques are imparted in the area of geobotany, whilst applied aspects are taught in the areas of functional plant morphology and bionics as well as in plant biotechnology. Courses are also offered in model-building for systems biology and synthetic biology. The core program therefore offers a whole range of combinations and options for further specialization, based on the orientation modules of the first semester. Core programs and master´s thesis are chosen from listed fields and combined as desired, giving the flexibility to choose between the numerous topics of PhD theses which become available upon successful completion of the MSc degree.
