Further degree courses of the department

Special features regarding teaching
Master's degree with specialisation in Nature Conservation, practically-oriented courses, partnerships with companies in the region. Strong integration of the numerous non-university institutions (Max Planck Institutes, Fraunhofer Institutes, Leibniz Institutes) in teaching, especially in the Master's degree courses with jointly appointed institute directors. Very good modern large-scale equipment (e.g. analytics, microscopy), which is also used in teaching.
Special features regarding the international orientation
Master's courses in English, cooperation with international graduate schools (e.g. IMPRS) in the region, planned exchange with Australian universities and universities in Venezuela.
Other special features
Very good interdisciplinary cooperation with neighbouring institutes (chemistry, physics and astronomy, nutritional sciences, mathematics), which is expressed by second memberships at the Institute of Biochemistry and Biology.
