Master of Science Biodiversity, Evolution, Ecology

Building on the unique strengths of the Berlin area, including the Berlin-Brandenburg Institute of Advanced Biodiversity Research (BBIB), this programme offers a wide range of courses in the field of biodiversity, ecology and evolution. We integrate a number of scientists at institutions of the Leibniz Association in the teaching programme and research, resulting in a diverse course portfolio. A proof of 120 credit points is required for the Master's programme in Biodiversity, Evolution, Ecology. It consists of the following fields: Introduction area (15 CP) Supplementary area (60 CP) Project area (15 CP) Master's thesis with accompanying colloquium (30 CP) The introductory area comprises two modules, providing students with an overview of the various research areas at the Institute of Biology of FU Berlin and an introduction to advanced biostatistics. In the supplementary area, students can select from a significant number of module variants, allowing for specialisation within the course of study. To ensure research-oriented teaching in line with current methods, there is a high turnover of module variants. Each current module variant can be found on the website, offering a broad spectrum of options each semester. The project area offers students the opportunity to engage in research projects within different working groups at the Institute of Biology of FU Berlin or at non-academic research centres in Berlin. Students can engage in these research projects through participation in up to two modules.
