About the Program
Students have the opportunity to specialise in one of the biological subject areas such as "Biodiversity Evolution and Ecology", "Genetics and Genomics", "Microbiology", "Molecular and Cell Biology", "Molecular Plant Sciences", or "Neuro and Behavioural Biology" of their choice through a flexible module selection and early specialisation options. Alternatively, they can acquire cross-sectional qualifications by participating in modules from various specialisations. As a result of the wide range of research institutions in Berlin, the Master's programme in Biology offers a large scope of modules from different areas in biology. This is possible with the inclusion of scientists from research institutions in the course programme like Robert-Koch-Institut, Charité, Leibniz-Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei, Max-Delbrück-Zentrum für Molekulare Medizin, Botanischer Garten and Botanisches Museum, and Berlin-Brandenburgisches Institut für Biodiversitätsforschung. During the project phase and production of the Master's thesis, students also have the opportunity to cooperate with research institutions from the region of Berlin, e.g. MPI für molekulare Pflanzenphysiologie, MPI für molekulare Genetik, Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung, Leibniz-Institut für Zoo- und Wildtierforschung, and more.
