The previously German-language curriculum of the master's degree programme "Ökologie und Evolution" will be changed to an English-language master's degree programme titled "Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health".
So DSH exam is not required for applications for the winter semester 2023/24, provided that the responsible committees approve the amended study regulations.
