Molecular Bioscience & Productive Biosystems
Subjects: Molecular Bioscience;Bioscience;Biosystems
M.Sc. | Master of Science
Course description
The degree program imparts both specialized knowledge and interdisciplinary skills. In the first semester, students gain theoretical insights and practical abilities related to the cultivation of microbes, gene expression, and protein production in microbial host systems, including fungi and protists. During the second and third semesters, students delve deeper into compulsory modules within the thematic pillars of "Functional Tools," "Productive Biosystems," and "Application Technologies." The course catalog offers a variety of classes, allowing students to tailor their focus. Both semesters feature laboratory rotations tied to the current research of the program's working groups. These rotations enhance students' experience and skills in independent scientific work. Students join two different, self-selected working groups, gaining firsthand insight into the research process. They expand their experimental knowledge and methodological skills, such as literature research, hypothesis development, and the planning, execution, and evaluation of experiments. Teamwork in these settings also helps them develop key qualifications like communication, teamwork, work organization, time management, and project planning.
