Course content and focus areas |
The master's degree programme "Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health" focuses on the teaching and research of biodiversity, ecology, ecotoxicology and evolution of animals, plants and fungi in the context of global change. In addition to basic and current scientific knowledge, a multitude of skills for practical field work and laboratory work are taught. The master's degree programme is, therefore, strongly research focussed. The teaching and learning content of the curriculum includes genetic diversity, biodiversity, nature conservation, interactions, multiple stressors, biocenoses and ecosystems. The programme aims to create an understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics as important factors for maintaining ecosystem functions and ecosystem services for humans. Biodiversity is addressed in all its facets, from genes to species diversity, evolution and ecosystems. Ecosystem Health includes the effects of stressors such as climate change, pathogens and chemical pollution on organisms and ecosystems. Our evidence-based research advances the transformation to a sustainable society. The degree programme is closely linked to the Sustainabilty & Biodiversity profile area at Goethe University. It is possible to concentrate on one subject area, within the degree programme. The chosen subject focus area is noted on the master's degree certificate. Possible areas of specialisation are:
