Organismic Biology, Evolutionary Biology and Palaeobiology (OEP Biology)

About

The goal of the Organismic Biology, Evolutionary Biology and Palaeobiology (OEP Biology) degree program is to give students a broad understanding of all aspects of organismic biology. Evolutionary biology and biodiversity research combine various disciplines such as systematics, phylogenesis, palaeobiology, physiology, ecology, molecular biology, ethology and many more. Students learn a broad spectrum of methodological skills in scientific research that enable them to solve scientific problems in international and interdisciplinary research groups and networks. One point emphasized in the degree program is the gathering of practical research experience in the field and in laboratories of the participating research groups as well as in the large collections of the Alexander Koenig Research Museum, the Goldfuss Museum for Paleontology, and the University of Bonns botanical gardens. Instruction in the OEP Biology degree program is theory-oriented and its aim is to convey to students the ability to think critically, analytically, and strategically. Possible lines of work: Basic research at universities and non-university research institutions, various types of work at collections/museums, employment at regional, supra-regional or global political and research facilities and public authorities
