Project modules / Teaching schedule information

Enrollment for the project modules (offered by the Insitute of Biology; module ID "BIO. ...") takes place in StudIP - for the winter term in September, for the summer term in March. You will be notified by email how to do.
Afterwards, the module managers will make a ranking and you will be notified by emai about your acceptance (or not). If you are late, please contact the respective module managers, not the office of student affiat for additional/left places.

The project modules 'Molecular Genetics' and 'Developmental biology' are not offered in the summer term 2024.

In the winter semester 22/23, the project module 'Nucleic acid  biochemistry' cannot be offered due to the professor's retirement.

The project modul "Molecular plant physiology" will no longer be offered. Instead, there will be 3 courses: "Plant Development and Stress Responses", Prof. Humbeck, and "Molecular Biology of Organelles", Prof. Kühn (both in the second half of the winter term) as well as "Molecular Cell Biology", Prof. Klösgen (second half of the summer term). If you have completed "Molecular plant physiology" you cannot chose one of these 3. If you have not yet completed "Molecular plant physiology" you may chose one or two of these three modules.
For module descriptions see module handbook.

The project module Molecular Phytopathology and Plant Immunity will be Molecular Plant Genetics. For a description see documents section to the right.
