Ecology

On the background of a bachelor degree in Biology/Life Sciences, the students learn various aspects, principles and experimental approaches in animal and plant ecology with a special focus on tropical ecosystems. With several bioinformatics tools, they become familiar how to use computer based approaches in order to address and resolve problems in these bioscientific fields. The students are enabled to address scientific questions with regard to organismic interactions, ecosystems, biodiversity, environmental protection. They know to approach scientific problems both theoretically and experimentally, and – based on the results obtained – to further develop scientific models and hypotheses.
