MA/MS in Molecular Plant Science

Taught in English, this research-oriented master's program builds on a foundation in molecular biology to train plant scientists in molecular, physiological, biochemical and imaging methods. Graduates learn to translate open research questions into testable hypotheses and to design experiments that investigate them independently. The program also develops practical skills in running experiments, troubleshooting and analysing results, and in presenting and critically discussing findings in a scientific context. Students gain substantial experience within an active university research environment and become familiar with alternative career paths beyond academia, as well as current debates in molecular biology and their wider societal relevance.
