Modules in the Master's programmes

In the M.Sc. Biochemistry, M.Sc. Biology and M.Ed. Teacher Education in Biology, students must complete modules amounting to a total of 120 CP. These CP are divided into compulsory, compulsory elective and complementary area:

  • 51 CP compulsory area (incl. Master's thesis)
  • at least 60 CP compulsory elective area:
    • Specialization I - III: at least 1 module of 15 CP per specialization;
    • Specialization IV: modules of at least 15 CP
  • at least 9 CP complementary area
  • 19 CP compulsory area
  • at least 12 CP Compulsory elective area: at least 1 module of at least 12 CP

Some modules from the compulsory elective areas have limited places. On October 14th at 15:00 in H15 there will be an event in which the places in those Master's modules, which will take place in the winter semester 2024/2025, will be allocated. To be considered for the allocation of places, either fill out this form and send it electronically to sekretariat.biologie@uni-ulm.de by October 6, 2024 or fill out the form on site at the event on October 14.

Exception: Conservation Genomics! Here the places will already be allocated in September 2024; there will be a request by email via the email distribution list at the beginning of September.

Please inform yourself in advance about the contents and dates of the modules offered (see below).

Please note that places for this course will only be allocated for modules from the following areas:

  • M.Sc. Biochemistry: Specializations I - III
  • M.Sc. Biology: Research focus Biology
  • M.Ed. Teacher Education Biology: Compulsory elective modules

You must take care of all other modules on your own responsibility!

Please note that only 1 module place is allocated per person and semester. If you wish to take more than 1 module per semester, you must take care of this yourself.
