Target group

The aim of the consecutive M. Sc. Degree course is to train researching microbiologists who have solid expertise and competences in the areas of molecular microbiology, microbial physiology and biotechnology as well as microbial ecology. This is an international degree course in which, in addition to professional qualifications, one of the training objectives is the acquisition of a high level of intercultural competence. The field of Microbiology is interdisciplinary in nature and the degree course is set up accordingly. This enables students to actively engage in a wide range of microbiological fields of work. The international degree course in Microbiology is designed in such a way that graduates meet the requirements of the international labour market in basic research and in all areas of applied microbiology.
