    About Molecular and Applied Plant Science (Bachelor of Science)

    In order to achieve the goal of providing basic and application-oriented training in molecular and applied plant science, the study concept is structured so that the basics of science are taught in compulsory modules in the form of preparatory courses in the first two academic years, in which students learn the foundations of life science as well as basic knowledge from selected areas of molecular and applied plant science, biology and horticultural sciences. The structure of the modules reflects the fundamental educational idea of learning practical knowledge alongside theory. Students acquire practical knowledge in problem classes, research activities and in the preparation and presentation of scientific issues. In the third academic year, students are free to choose the topic of their Bachelors thesis as well as their compulsory elective modules, enabling them to specialise to a certain extent and create a distinct profile. The specialisation can be in the direction of a more fundamental degree (majoring in Plant Biotechnology) or a more application-oriented degree (majoring in Horticultural Sciences).
