Course description

The Master's degree program in Biology offers four specializations: Microbial and Plant Biotechnology, Molecular Cell Biology, Neurobiology, and Ecology. This program provides a research-focused and practical education in these fields. Each specialization is closely tied to the research activities of the participating working groups, allowing you to develop a unique scientific profile and gain professional expertise. Specialization: Ecology (Eco) Ecosystems function through interactions between biotic communities and environmental factors. Biodiversity and its patterns over space and time are crucial. Microorganisms represent the majority of biodiversity and biomass on Earth. The Ecology specialization offers comprehensive training in the ecology, evolution, and biodiversity of microorganisms from all three domains of life. You will delve into the origins and significance of biodiversity and learn techniques to investigate these mechanisms. You'll also explore methods to identify and explain the spatial and temporal distribution patterns of biotic communities and populations. Building on these theoretical foundations, you will create and test your own ideas and concepts through traditional and modern molecular biology experiments. This hands-on approach ensures you gain practical experience and a deep understanding of ecological principles.
