Overview
The Biology - Variant one year Master's programme at at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf comprises only two semesters and serves almost exclusively to prepare students for independent scientific work. The first semester includes a project internship and serves to create a pilot skate as preparation for the master's thesis. The second semester is intended for the Master's thesis. The course is very strongly research-oriented. It makes sense to choose a research topic before studying and to write to eligible supervisors in advance.
Career Prospects
The Master's programme in Biology leads in one year to the further and professional qualification Master of Science (MSc). Ideally, it prepares its graduates for a doctorate or alternatively for a responsible job in the professional world.
