How is Biology structured?
The master’s programme in Biology is studied over 2 years, and each academic year is divided into 2 semesters. There are opportunities for exchange stays and company projects during the course of study, and you have the chance to specialise in areas such as acoustic communication and behaviour, nature conservation and biodemography, ecology and environmental management, or ecotoxicology and chemical regulation.
Below, you can see an overview of the programme structure. If you start the degree in February, the master’s programme follows a slightly different structure, with the first and second semesters reversed.
Choices and options
In the Applied Mathematics programme, you have the opportunity to shape your education through elective courses and project topics. You can also undertake a company project within a business or organisation to test your knowledge in practice.
Additionally, you have the option to go on an exchange programme and gain international experience.
In the 2nd, you will complete your education with your master’s thesis.
