M.Sc. Molecular Plant and Microbial Sciences
The aim of the MSc program is to deepen the students' existing knowledge in plant biology, microbiology and ecology and to prepare them for independent scientific work in the field of molecular and quantitative plant sciences. The processing and transduction of signaling molecules and the role of primary and secondary metabolism in plant development and health, especially in interaction with other organisms, are taught. Our graduates are prepared to collect, analyze, and interpret data. They learn to think critically about scientific issues, evaluate arguments and data and to communicate their findings in oral presentations and written work.
International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) in Cologne and Düsseldorf
The IMPRS on "Understanding Complex Plant Traits using Computational and Evolutionary Approaches" is the continuation of the IMPRS that started in September 2001 and is organized by the Max-Planck-Institute for Plant Breeding Research together with its partners from the University of Cologne and the Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf. The constellation of participating institutions provides excellent training conditions and expertise in plant genetics, structural biology, cell biology and bioinformatics. The program offers an interdisciplinary education for highly motivated students. More information
