About the Program

In the Master of Education in Biology, students deepen their subject-specific and didactic knowledge. The program allows for flexible design by choosing two specialization modules from a wide range of biological subject areas. Students can decide whether to complete two specialization modules in Biological Research or one specialization module in Biological Research and one specialization module in Ecosystems. The program requires students to continue their two main academic subjects, with 27 ECTS credits in each subject (subject-specific science and subject-specific didactics). The program is supplemented by the Pedagogical Additional Subject (33 CP), a 12-week school practice semester (16 CP), and a master's thesis (17 CP). The Biology major includes compulsory modules (Advanced Module Biological Research 1, Advanced Teaching Methodology, Seminar Biology) and advanced modules (either Advanced Module Biological Research 2 or Advanced Module Ecosystems).
